I love my shoes made by a Canadian company that are made of moulded foam. These shoes become increasingly popular in BC. They are durable, they float, they dry quick and they are extremely comfortable. In fact, I wear them at home too! Some people take them as the only pair of shoes on the two-week kayaking trips. The shoes are not sandals, but they have large holes to wash away that sand or gravel. The least but not last they cost only $24 CDN. Here is the manufacturer's website: http://www.holeysoles.com/ Cheers, Victor --- Natalie Wiest <wiestn_at_tamug.edu> wrote: > I've spent quite a long time looking at shoe alternatives too.
