[philmont] Camp shoe requirements

 
Yes, I've been using crocks also. Extremely light weight and durable. Closed
toe. Perfect for creek crossings which are to deep for boots. Comfortable in
camp. I've also heard they are made of soybeans so you could eat them in an
emergency. :)
In summary - crocks meet the definition of camp shoe for me. I recommend
them.

Pete did such a good job on this one, case closed.

However, go back to the words "camp shoes" shoes are shoes. Flip flops and
flip flops. If they wanted you to bring "flip flops" it would have said
flip
flops. They stated "camp shoes" Take camp shoes.

By the same token if they wanted you to take "crocs" they would have said
"bring crocs."

Comment...

Pete did a good job of outlining the issues to consider. For me, my crocs
will be in my pack (again) on my next Autumn Adventure. As well as most of
the other members of the crew with dozens of treks between us.
