Re: [Paddlewise] Sole Bothers

I've used sandals, but they got caught in the foot pegs once too often.
Then I went to Teva Wet Climbers (pricey), but they turned out to be too
stiff and just slightly too big for comfort in my boat.  Now I'm wearing --
and very happy with -- paddling shoes by Five-Ten.  They're very pliable,
take up less room than the Tevas, have great heel protection, and give very
good traction on rocks and -- up to a point -- even on slime.  They close
with a soft rubber strap that seems to exert no pressure on the instep, yet
are secure enough to keep the shoe on when wading through muck.  If I have
any complaint, it might be that the soles are soft enough to let me feel the
pointy stones I step on sometimes.  But if that's the price I pay for their
pliability inside the boat, then I'll pay it.
