I was checking options today for in-camp shoes, that I would probably use at home in warmer months also. I have NRS Storm Boots for portaging. Right now, I'm giving a heavy lean toward Keen sandals. If anyone at Copia has 'em, and the price is right, I will likely pull the trigger. Very comfy.

Korkers are great. I have had them for 6 years and they are still going strong. The Swift sandals are my daily shoes during the summer.  I have the Sandals as well as wading boots. They are great for everyday. I bought a second pair thinking they would break down with daily use. That pair is still in the box after 6 years.

They have convertable soles which allows me to have a hiking lug for portaging/trails (which we do not have to do a lot of in Arkansas) They also have felt soles for river wading/fishing. It is the best all around solution I have ever had for the river.

I also have Several types of Chota's  Mukluks & wading felts.

Chota just released a new wading sock that is basicly a pair of knee high waders. They have a neoprene socks with a breathable wader upper. I got a pair but have not had a chance to use them. I think they will work well with my sandals when I get into muddy mucky situations. No more muck oozing between my toes I hope.
