> I wear an old pair of trainers/running shoes to get over this problem One of the things that I was taught early on was not to wear shoes with laces. Apparently, in a capsize, the laces can loop around the foot pegs and entrap you in the boat. I "think" (my recollection is vague) that this may have actually happened to a paddler a couple of winters ago on the Potomac River. Anyway.... I'm no expert, but food for thought.
