Crocs or sandals? - Camino de Santiago Forum
Feb 19, 2016 · Also, the Crocs, if worn in a shower or on a rainy day, will dry faster than the nylon webbing or leather trim on most sandals.

PSA: Crocs shrink (and how to unshrink them)
Mar 23, 2019 · My daughter has worn crocs for 15 years in the hot, hot sun of Sacramento, California. She often left them outside in the sun, but shrinkage was NEVER an issue. My size 14 Crocs often hung on the outside of my pack this past spring while walking the CF and I also never experienced that issue. Not sure it’s a problem you need to worry about.
Crocs Rule - Camino de Santiago Forum
Dec 2, 2017 · If the Crocs are the only shoes your wife can wear then which ever ones fit her comfortably would be the ones to use. It is a trail, not 'mountaineering'. We use Crocs clogs as our second shoes and have said that if we encountered such bad mud/water that it would get in over our boot tops then we would take of our socks and roll up our trousers ...
Teva sandals or crocs? - Camino de Santiago Forum
Jul 19, 2016 · Teva sandals or Crocs are fine in the shower. Walk for a couple of hours in each one to see the best alternative footwear if you need to hike out of your boots for a day or two.

List your shoes - Camino de Santiago Forum
Mar 22, 2012 · I have always used the clog type Crocs for showers and after walking, including wandering around town. This year I have bought a very cheap pair of ultra lightweight foldable 'pumps' for smarter evening wear. I'll still take the Crocs as I don't think the little shoes are up to much more than indoor use. Note:- Grisport do not ship outside of ...
Croc shower sandals and other ways to cut weight
Apr 8, 2014 · When I got my one and only blister last year, I took my shoes off and changed to crocs. They were perfectly adequate for the last five kilometres of the day. They are also invaluable for laundry duty (the floor is always wet, and it gets muddy if I wear my shoes and I don't want to get my socks wet) and a little light walking around town after ...
Footwear for afternoons and evenings after walking.
