Croc Knockoffs? - Backpacking Light
2011年2月17日 · The material is very similar to Crocs but noticeably less dense and they lack a heal cup which saves even more weight. I have been using the same pair for 3 years and they are still going strong. Feb 17, 2011 at 11:59 am #1697921
lighter than Crocs - Backpacking Light
2006年9月29日 · My Crocs are 12oz too. I went through listings for dozens of shoes and even the lightest running flats aren’t much lighter than the molded resin shoes like Crocs, Nuthinz, Holeys, Waldies, and all the knock-offs. I saw a listing for the Crocs Nile model, which comes in sizes to women’s 11 US, which would fit a lot of men. It should be a ...

2017年12月12日 · I prefer US Divers brand 3 mm closed cell neoprene sox as a VBL over thin poly socks. One pair of poly socks per day. Turn VBL sox inside-out every night to partially dry and place inside foot of sleeping bag overnight to complete drying. ** Remove boot liners and place in sleeping bag overnight to avoid painfully cold boots in the morning!
lightest camp shoes - Backpacking Light
2015年6月15日 · About the same weight as regular Crocs, but you could hike and cross streams in these (regular Crocs are VERY unstable when they get wet — don't ask me how I know). Edited to add — I have very, very sensitive feet, and the Vivos were torture for …
Stream crossings with one pair of shoes? - Backpacking Light
2009年8月6日 · Another option would be take off the socks, put the shoes back on, squish through the creek and a little beyond (until the water's mostly out of the shoes) and stop, dry feet, put socks back on. That way the socks don't get appreciably damp for very long and the feet don't say soaking wet, and the shoes will be dry by the time you get where you ...
stream crossing footwear input needed - Backpacking Light
2009年10月11日 · I agree with the crocs, but if you have a lot of wet hiking to do, just wear a pair of the Vibram Five Fingers toe shoes make from Neoprene (6 oz per shoe!). You can wear them the whole hike — it's like going barefoot with enough protection to make it possible. They are great on wet rocks — and practically every other surface.
Camp Shoes - Backpacking Light
2010年7月5日 · I know you mentioned you tried Crocs, but if you are looking for even lighter camp shoes, the knock-off crocs at Target weigh ~8.9 ounces for a size 10. Jul 6, 2010 at 11:06 am #1626599 Bob Gross
Winter stream crossings? - Backpacking Light
2010年1月27日 · I carry a pair of Crocs, or very light mesh shower sandals. At the creek I strip off my shoes and socks, roll up my pant legs or take them off if it's really deep, put on the Crocs and just walk across. There's an initial feeling of cold, then a bit of numbness, and then it just stays that way until I'm across.
Wet, Cold Feet When Backpacking: How To Keep Your Feet Dry …
2017年9月29日 · My boots are still not saturated—socks dry. This is where it gets tough because there are too many crossings in quick succession to off-boot and reboot constantly . . . . maybe. And it’s very difficult to backpack 7 or 8 miles (with the crossings) in water shoes (crocs, etc)—because it’s dang cold on the feet (snow gets in the shoe).
quick stream crossing options - Backpacking Light
2018年8月6日 · I used some sandals that were similar to crocs. That worked good. Kind of a hassle to take off boots, put on sandals, cross, reverse. I hate taking extra weight. 90%+ of my trips I can cross without water going over the tops of my boots.
