They're all rubber and nylon, so when they get wet they don't get very wet and dry out quickly. These cheap things will last about forever, but at least in this neck of the woods you'd better be grabbing them, since they're on sale and will soon probably disappear until next spring. The only down side is that they're not very good for walking. I had to do a couple of miles in the K-mart boat shoes, when I'd forgotten to take a pair of regular shoes on an island visit, and wound up with the worst set of blisters I've had in ten years. I don't find them very good for walking any distance at all. -- Wes *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Jul 15 1999 - 10:37:50 PDT
