The difference seems to be the composition of the soles, Crocs wear quickly at the point of greatest load, especially the outside of the heels. Other brands of outdoor sandals not so much.

Tevas can set you back more’n $100, I found the Worldwide Sportsmen sandals (AKA “water shoes”) when I stopped in at Bass Pro. Less than 1/2 the price of others. And my knees like them 🙂
