RE: [Paddlewise] Footwear

I would recommend getting the teva's that have the buckle.   They stand up much  better than the velcro.

I use the Tiva sandals and love them. They have held up to everything I could 
throw at them. The only hesitation I have is the velcro isn't marine quality 
as far as I can tell and velcro of any quality picks up grit.
    I love the sandals but I have moved to keeping $5.00 beach shoes with me 
because sandals can be a bear to walk around in if there are things you have 
to wade through like sticks and leaves and sharp gravel. The beach shoes are 
the ones with the web top and some kind of plastic/rubber sole. I don't worry 
about what I'm going to step on when I wade in the water to get in/out of the 
boat.
