I meant to share this a while ago but never got around to it. After a day walking about in boots, what better then to slip into a pair of slippers. Of course, you couldn't do this outdoors, or could you? I recently went bushcrafting with a friend who pulled out a pair of beach/surf shoes, made of neoprene with a durable rubber sole.
What an amazing bit of kit. I ordered a set which set me back about 10 euros including delivery, and used them on my next outing. Cutting about the camp it became obvious that they weren't waterproof, but I sort of guessed that already!! Saying that, I could feel the ground and was able to creep quickly about the camp without snapping twigs and the like, so they could possibly be used for tracking/stalking aswell. They have an insole inside aswell and are machine washable, in fact, I wear them at home about the flat so that if I need to go in the cellar, I just go.
I also wear them in my fart sack at night so that if I need to get up and answer the call, I don't have to mess about sticking my boots back on, then taking them off afterwards. They are so light and comfy I don't even realise they are there. I've been told that some of the British Forces such as Royal Marines also wear them to bug out in if necessary, although when I'm doing military, I tend to sleep ready to go with my boots on!
Has anyone else used these shoes, and if so, what do you think of them?
