Re: [Paddlewise] Teva shoes

I found that after 3-4 days on the water and camping, the Tevas would
eat my ankles and make them raw in places, which was painful. I switched
to Keene's and they were totally comfortable. Both brands allow pebbles
to lodge under the soles of your feet, which again is not pleasant. Also,
both Tevas and Keenes are pretty expensive, compared to a zippered wet suit
booty. There's something to be said for snug booty.
