I can't stand flip-flops. Haven't been able to wear them since I was a kid. I never could understand how other people wear them as just regular shoes. I must have abnormal feet or something.
....
I can't walk in them either. Besides, nobody wants to see man-feet. Just nasty.



Recommend any in particular, rather expensive but they do seen good quality.
I got my pair at BJ's Wholesale. They took a stab a selling the men's line and it tanked. They had a pair in my size on the shelf for months; I walked in last year and offered them $45 for them and they took it.

But I also have a different pair for walking around in frigid conditions: http://www.zappos.com/ugg-hannen-black-leather-14

Do tell more. Have you got a link to them?
They would be useful for the other half

Mountain Equipment Coop sells them in Canada as well. They ship to the US. They have multiple heights etc, some have a rubberized coating so they are good in snow for short periods (read: peeing in the middle of the night )

Flip flops in summer. Pakems in all other cooler seasons.

I love Pakems. They're easy to clean is one thing. They have a good sole, slip on in an easy one-handed effort. They come with a bomber little bag to keep everything around them cleaned when packed up.

I did a review of them on ExPo's home page, and while I got mocked for that review and for wearing them around camp....I have noticed more of them around the fire. :)

Those look awesome, I've still yet to buy anything. Seeing as i've got no trips planned for the time being anyone got any other suggestions?


EDIT: where is this review you speak of i can't seem to find it

My other go-to are Sanuks.

Great lightweight shoes I often take backpacking. Don't wear them too much. They have so little support, they kill your feet after a while.

There are hundreds of Sanuk styles to chose from. All make for great camp shoes. They really do weigh nothing.

I 100 percent second the sanuks. I have a half dozen pairs, wear them summer, have lined ones for winter (if its not wet), I wear them ALL the time. If I am in the bush, I wear my timberland boots, and toss a pair or two of sanuks in the rig to wear when I am done.

I am sending them an email to make a lined high boot made with some water resistance, and a rubber boot version. ha ha. That way I can have my comfy sanuks for rain and slop too.

For fall, winter, and spring camping, I really like my Ugg mid-top boots for wearing around camp in the evening and early morning. During the day, I usually just wear my hiking boots or hiking shoes.

I might look into those slip-on Merrell shoes for daytime loafing around the campsite and for highway driving to and from adventures.
