In the morning at Torreya Park, I went down to the Apalachicola River shore to get some water and wash some plates. Because I had no other footwear with me I wore my hiking boots unlaced. This made them a little more comfortable to my sore toes, but they felt heavy. Also, I ran the risk of getting them wet near the river. They ended up caked with a mud/cement that has yet to completely come off. The river was down a little rocky hill and there was a rock formation jutting into the river. It would have been impossible for me to get down there with something on. I was thinking, wouldn't it be great to have a lightweight sandal that was very comfortable and provided enough all around foot protection from the sharp rock. I have been reading on the hiking forums about these things. They seem to be the in camp shoe on most trails now days. Now I know why. I went over to Dick's Sporting Goods and put down $30 for a pair.
OK, don't say it, because I know. I was at the bar one evening and saw this dude dressed in very neutral colors. However, on his feet where the most hideous yellow clog looking things I have ever seen. I said some nasty things to a nearby friend about them. Who would have thunk I would even think of buying a pair. Well I have and I love them. I bought a manly "Army Green" pair and will NOT be wearing them to the bar anytime soon.
