I agree with *food* - most of the time I use my hiking shoes. They are as light as crocks, and much better for uneven ground - hiking to the spring or other excursions away from camp. They are not as easy to slip on in the bleary midnight hours when nature calls, but even then, they are more secure than crocks when just slipped on and not tied. But on some hikes I use crocks just because they feel good at the end of the day. Mostly not, though. All in all, it is simply lighter and generally safer to use my hiking shoes.

Part of my issue with alternative camp shoes such as water or shower slippers is they don't come in my size and they are not as comfortable and sometimes not as light as crocks.
