Hi

They were probably a pair of Five Ten Canyoneer Approach Shoes, available for £60 from these people...

I know Ray uses these, I and some of my canoeing friends do to, very good for those long walks through the slippy and rocky shallows to spy out your routes.

They are same as my diving boot, get them from any dive or surf shop lots of different makes.

Very common in water sports,

I wear them when I am rowing as well highly recommend them.

Not say mears stuff is bad but try some different ones first,

What is good for oneperson might not good for another,

Some gear he swears by I just cant use, not saying it is bad gear just try a few

its just that im looking for a pair of multipurpose shoes which i can get wet and have good soles and they looked ideal, now how much are woodlore knives!

These boots are really comfy, and have very grippy soles, you can't go wrong with them.
