Another camp "shoe" idea, which I made use of, was to remove the  
original insoles from my shoes and with a little elastic, fashion a  
pair of sandals out of them. I stored these sandals inside my shoes  
under my superfeet. Unfortunately, when I replaced my shoes I  
accidentally threw them away because I was in a hurry.

These work terribly, but they work. I mean, you can't really walk far  
in them, but you can get up to pee or use them in a shower. The  
weight is extremely minimal.

At some points on the trail I was a camp shoe fan and other times I  
didn't care so much. A large percentage of hikers had crocs or flip- 
flops so don't worry about any snickering from the peanut butter bear  
canister gallery if you choose to carry some.
