[pct-l] foam clogs - gear review/info

[hiknfun at cox.net (Lynn Nebus)]

After looking at all the clog-related posts today I thought I would 
relate that I have a pair and they are called CROCS. I bought mine at 
REI for $30 so I know they have them (also online). When I first saw 
them earlier this year in the store I thought they would make excellent 
camp and stream-crossing shoes with their light weight. My womens size 
8 equivalents weigh 10 oz for the pair. In addition to the light 
weight, they do not take on water weight after using them to ford a 
stream, unlike Tevas and other water surf shoes that are made of fabric 
and must then dry out after using them, while attached to the back of 
one's pack. Slapping them together a few times after use will shake out 
any remaining water droplets. For the fashion-conscious hiker, they 
also come in black, blue, green, red and yellow.

I believe there are several different styles, mine have a strap on the 
back and holes in the top and sides of the shoe. The soles are 
surprisingly grippy, although I wouldn't recommend them for walking 
over talus :-)
