I'll repeat my endorsement of the Five-Ten watershoes I use: the Nemo, which comes in a low version and a high-top version. Mine: http://www.spelean.com.au/FT/Product/water/nemo.html About USD $55, here, anyway: http://www.sportextreme.com/pz1000004x10017yUSD/ The heels are not huge, the soles are not overly thick, and the rubber seems to do a better-than-average job of reducing slippery rocks to reliable stepping stones. They drain pretty well, and have removable inserts for quicker drying ... which has never seemed like a major requirement for a shoe that is used wet almost all the time. No affiliation with Five Ten, or the retailer URL'ed above. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Daly" <mikedaly_at_magma.ca> > The problem I have is that the soles of most > running shoes are too thick (especially at the heel) and with my big > feet, I can't get them into the kayak.
