[pct-l] Camp Shoes and Such

"... Once in camp you can change into your spare, dry socks, wear the
VB socks over them and then your normal (wet) shoes. The VB socks keep
the wet shoe from wetting the dry socks."

Agreed, with the caveat that a person doesn't need to purchase VB
socks just for this purpose.  A couple of bread bags (the plastic bag
that a standard loaf of bread comes in) works fine (a pair of them).
Very light, somewhat dual-useable.  Or anything along that line.   In
a pinch could use as actual VB socks for walking in, though likely
wouldn't last too long in that configuration, but for folks that don't
carry a second pair of footwear there might be a few days when bread
bags or the like would make for a nicer experience.

One other caveat, if it's cold out and the shoes are all wet, your
feet might still feel cold, despite the plastic bag keeping the socks
dry.  But in such a situation it's not like you'll be lounging around
camp anyway --- do what needs to be done and then get in the sleeping
bag.
