Assuming I could get my feet into a pair (some might say I have natural
snowshoes), they look intriguing. We used the Tecnica Pacmoc and had pretty
good success with them. The Crocs look lighter (which is very important).

Subject: [Philmont]: Camp Shoe - Crocs
Does anyone have an opinion about Crocs for use at Philmont as a camp shoe.
These shoes have recently become extremely popular, and are extremely
comfortable, extremely light weight, and not expensive. They come in
various models - see:
http://www.crocs.com/footwear.asp
The Highland model has no holes, but does have the open heel with strap like
all of them do, but it may be hot on the foot with no airflow or ventilation
in the front. They're made of special patented closed cell resin, kind of
like plastic rubber.
A Scout in my council contingent was wearing a pair on a recent backpack
weekend trip - had the multiple holes in the front. I told him they would
be unsuitable at Philmont - not closed toe and not allowed for use while
cooking, as well as other activities. However, I still wonder about the
Highland no-holes model and am experimenting myself.
Does anyone have any experience camping with Crocs and an opinion on their
suitability for use as your only camp shoe at Philmont?
