Right ON Ralph!  I couldn't help thinking what a bunch of whimpie piggies some paddlers have. 

I generally wear Teva Alps or Chaco Z-1's from mid March to early November.  Exclusively.  No other shoes.  Land or sea.  Been doing it for years and years.  Hardly a stub, seldom a bruise, a *little* blood now and then but hey I got great tan lines *and* you can show off your toe nail polish!

BTW, you wouldn't believe how many sea kayak clients will paint their toes if given the op!
