Re: [Paddlewise] Sandals are they a hazard?

I think it depends on the style, the fit, the boat,
and probably a lot of other things.  How snag prone
are your sandals?  Can you easily slip out of them? 
What kind of foot braces does your boat have?  They
"may" be OK for some folks in some situations.  All
that said, better safe than sorry.

Personally I would rather carry sandals in the boat. 
If it is warm I paddle barefooted, if it is cooler
then booties, if is really cold then booties with wool
socks inside them.  What kind of booties depends on
how much walking is likely and on what kind of
terrain.
