Barry, you got me thinking alot. The thing I don't like about the Terra Fi2 is the lack of toe covering. However, Teva's Toachi has one, and looks like it would perform similar to the Terra. Their other sandal with a toe covering doesn't look like it has the size range, ie, I can either wear no socks, or three socks with the same sandal. The only question is, is it wide enough, and does it have a good enough sole. I guess my next step is buying a pair, and trying them out. If they don't work, I don't think it would be a big loss, I would probably still wear them, just not hiking.

As far as wearing socks with sandals, I do it all the time, and my wife cringes every time. She especially doesn't like it when I wear leather sandals to church with dress socks. I guess it is good I am married. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I am also forbidden to pick out the clothes for the kids. Apparently I have failed everytime. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
