Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Sandals vs Crocs

No thanks. I choke on small bones.

Go Crocs and never look back.

Keen Newports.

I like the enclosed toe. They dry quickly and wear like iron.

I’ve always worn slides on the deck or while grilling. This past year my brother bought me a pair of camo Crocs. I really like them. Comfortable to wear, light weight. Great for wearing out to pee in the driveway at deer camp at 3am. Don’t give 2 Schitz what people think about them.

I guess the new comfy shoes are slip ons called “Hey Dudes”. We were at bible study and my wife and a couple female friends were talking about how great they are. One woman said “Ron, you should get a pair of Hey Dudes!” I told her I’d rather slam my leg in my truck door. I looked over and one of the men was wearing them. I laughed and said “But they look good on you”! Lol

Crocs FTW.

I was a croc hater, til I got a pair.

1980's Tevas around here somewhere.

Two of my sons swear by them. I am tempted given my screwed up toes.

I have worn many sandals, not crocs yet. Have not found an outlet with 15's in stock! Chacos are the norm for me until then!

Teva sandals is my favorite.

The sun tan dots dont bother me, but the little stones and sand that get into the things bother me alot.
After i launch my jon boat i hold them over the side and rinse all that out.
Not as easy after retreiving the boat however.
Any of the shoes that have weep holes do the same.
So for that reason the crocks work best for me as for boat shoes for my type of boating and the places i do it.
But other than when using my small boat i never wear them.

Yessir - geedubya has it goin' on!


Any backpackers on here? They make great spike camp footwear since they don't weigh but a few ounces and don't take up any real estate inside the pack. Just tie 'em on to the pack.

First time I saw some backpackers with them tied onto their packs I thought "That's totally gay", but then once I was at my own destination and set up camp I thought "Why the fugg didn't I bring a pair."

Sure is nice to take off the boots at camp and slide into a pair of these. Fair weather stuff, of course.


In public? Well, yeah, once in a while. But I'm getting to be the age IDGAS what anyone thinks.

I expect you already know mesquite thorns just go right through ‘em 🙂

That's right!
Hardware run, Crocs, wore out T-shirt, gym/running shorts, hair however...
fat middle aged bastard. DGAF. Look like hell and that's fine.

I'm there for parts, not impressions.


The spots are real. Especially after sitting through softball all summer
with two daughters.

My biggest gripe is my misinformed little toes.
They tend to slide out the side holes. Kinda uncomfortable,
darn vulnerable.


Wear them a lot driving.
But always take work boots along on any trip.


Crocs have their place, they sure don't replace boots.

^^^^^ yep, I wear Crocs most of the time when some other heavy duty foot protection isn't required. IDGAF what anyone thinks, could buy most people that don't like it. 🤣

I got a pair of Hey Dudes for my son. Very lightweight and a little less casual than Crocs. He seems to like them. We'll see how they hold up.

I tried on a pair of heydudes at BPS.

I got wide feets. The sanuks fit me better.

Same style shoe.

Tandles !

Go with sandals. While very comfortable on your feet, Crocs in bare feet aren't great for walking, for me anyway. Feet get sweaty in them, skin sticks and rubs and get blisters easily. They're great for slipping on quickly to go outside for a few quick light chores or boating/pool, but their real strength is the cushioning they provide if you are on your feet all day. Wear socks.

And real men wear whatever they hell they want.
