Just spent $40 on Croc jandals to replace the ones I left in Wanaka
Looks like Im keeping the Bloody Croc’s , I was hoping for some ground breaking alternative .
Cheap Warehouse canvas slip ons.

Inov8 mountain running "shoes".
Super light . Even walked out of the Waipakahi in them one time with a full pack just to see if I could.
Embrace the Croc’s and rock the Croc’s.
I've got a pair of keens like that but they are much heavier than my crocs also a real cunt for getting sticks and small stones in them, granted you could easily carry a pack with them on, but why would you if you had your boots ?
Just so easy to slip the crocs on.
Each to their own though :thumbsup:
The cheap beach feet from the Warehouse are okay. Nice and light and take up very little space.

I would give something like these a go but it’s Crocks for me but only because I’m size 14 and nothing Chinese fits.
Something like this, light and easy to pack. I don't like jandals.

Full disclosure. I wear Crocs all the time.

Bare feet work surprisingly well.
I know guys who say these are good

but to be fair I haven't tried them myself
Its a good idea to have round camp footwear that can double as boots in case your boots crap out. I discovered that on day 5 of a 10 day trip when one of my boot soles was ripped off on a river crossing. Five days tramping in one jandal and one boot ain't funny!
I use $8 warehouse crocs. They weight practically nothing and at that price they can double as emergency firestarters.
@sambnz has some mint as camp shoes he made one day Haha
Carried a pair of hard sole dive booties into Fiordland a few years back
Best thing I ever did
Bought a pair of these this morning and Im very happy so far .
Weight next to nothing, super comfortable, can actually walk/run in them and because the top of them is basically material they can be packed down flat to minimise volume when shoving them into a pack .
Time will tell if they make a good camp shoe , but I can see immediately that they are more versatile than my old fecking Croc’s
I wear New Balance minimus shoes pretty much every where, I also bush hunt with them as well.

Said it before, the holes in crocs are where your dignity grains out.
Seal skin socks in my boots. (Dry feet if your boots are wet for around camp and no added weight/bulk).
Old Red Bands cut off around the ankle for fly/drive in trips.
What's wrong with bare feet? For me its bare feet or boots on, unless its drive/fly in.
Some of you guys must have narrow feet if you find Nikes comfortable
