Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I own a pair of "Holysoles" - just like Crocs
They areUgly and are too popular to be anything but cheap and nasty....
but they are comfy, light weight and float as well as being non absorbent!
Ideal for watersports then but less than nice to look at...
Love em AND hate them!

Yeah, 'cos that's what's really important when choosing footwear.
Crocs are cheap, light, comfy and don't get waterlogged... ideal for round camp, or in the garden.
For people who prefer style over substance I can see they probably wouldn't fit the "rugged" bushcraft image, but there's a reason Crocs are as popular as they are.
Plenty of reasons not to like them - they can get slippery if your feet sweat, they have holes which isn't ideal around thorns / thistles etc - but since when is "cheap" a bad thing?
My Frosts Clipper looks (and was!) cheap - less than £10 - but it's no better or worse than many custom knives 10 times the price.
I love my crocs, lightweight, very, very comfortable, whats not to like
PS, I don't worry if people stare at them and think they are cheap and nasty, thats their problem not mine

I have a pair that I usually wear round the house/garden instead of slippers. They're very comfy, let your feet breathe, are great for camping/beach, dry quickly, seem to be very hard wearing. But they look a little odd. Pros outweigh the cons though for me.
Both my toddlers live in them at the moment.
Only reason I didn't get a pair is that I have two pairs of trekking sandals.

Didn't realise it was a link 
That'll be a "No" then, 'cos no way would I ever willingly choose to wear those.......they look like the very worst of woolies plastic sandles from the 60's.......uncomfortable, sweaty, let in sand and gravel and keep it rubbing against the skin, slippy on damp grass and moss......I'm going barefoot.
