Crocs and socks! A kindred soul. My yoga instructor gave me an odd look when I showed up in shorts, white socks and Crocs. What can I say? We all do what we are comfortable doing. I will say she was wearing butt floss under her tights. Yes I am sure. Jim et al > > Crocs are ugly. They do slip.

Mion --> Crocs --> socks --> butt floss This thread is going downhill faster than most. I used to wear my off-brand Crocs--with poly socks, NOT white--for most boating, including WW canoeing. They will stay on in a Class II swim (Rescue practice; I don't flip in Class II much). Didn't have too much problem with slippage. But now I've discovered Keen sandals and wear them for everything, including work. Didn't hurt that I picked up a pair at an REI scratch'n'dent sale for $20. I'm way too cheap to pay $80 a pair.

I bought my Crocs for use as summertime slippers -- especially good for those times when I have to walk across wet grass in the morning to the compost bin. But I have also discovered that when I have to get up in the middle of the night while camping, they are easier to slip on than just about any other footwear I own, so they are now standard gear on my camping trips.

My camp shoe days may be drawing to a close with the imminent launching of the mutha-ship. In which I will recline at leisure with slippers, hot chocolate, a good book, and a heater after a good day's paddling adventure. I do have windows through which I can watch my friends in camp slogging from tent to kitchen tarp and back. Ahhh.... it is *so* good to look forward to being able to mimic the rich.
