I wear light shoes to hike in. I carry Croc knock offs that I got at Target for 9.00. They are just the same as the 29-39 dollar Crocs. I would wear my hiking shoes around camp, but there are times when it has been raining all day and I want to get out of the wet shoes. If it is raining while in camp I have my Walmart umbrella bags to put over my socks before the Crocs go on. I like dry feet in camp, but am tough as nails otherwise. Some folks say that Crocs are better but I think they are just trying to justify the fact that they spent so much to get a name brand. If their one pair will outlast the 3 or 4 pairs I could get for the same money then something is wrong, but it has not happened yet to my knowledge.
