I didn't wanna buy into the Crocs Uglyshoe hype and be seen with a trendy (albeit goofy) fashion statement, so I sought out another brand.

This is the AquaDuck Daytona (in camo color, also comes in brown and navy blue.)
I got these suckers under the following stipulations... I'm going to be using these for Camp Shoes, beach / poolwear, climbing waterfalls (I'm going on a cruise come August so we're doing some easy-peasy waterfall climbing in Jamaica) and I'll also be using these to chase my dog Sniffy-Longdroppings in the yard (which has many... many landmines...) so they need to be easily cleaned.
I typically wear a size 10.5-11 shoe and their sizes list an XL for size 10-11. Trying them on at first i thought they were too big but it appears my toe has maybe 1cm before it hits the front.
I tightened the strap and took a run in my backyard... these suckers won't come off (while im wearing a sock, it's too cold to wear these sockless.) I ran right into a pile of my dog's homemade fertilizer, washed these things off with the hose no problem (no intracate crap-retaining grips on the bottom)
Indoors, I tried them sockless and for now the EVA is kinda hard so if I wore these all day and walked around I'd no doubt have sores or blisters of sorts... hopefully breaking them in alleviates this problem. They feel fine with socks on.
I don't have a scale yet so i haven't weighed them, but I can't imagine they're more than 8oz for the pair (I'll update when I do find out)
I'm not sure if you can find these in the stores... online, I found them at Tim's Shoe Warehouse (http://www.timsshoewarehouse.com/servlet/the-Aquaduck-Mens/Categories). He sells them $15 shipped, and he also sells them through his eBay store (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=260354954418) (if you want extra feedback and paypal buyer's accountability) He's a sloppy eBayer, so you have to request the size you need, request it in the additional notes in paypal.
SwimOutlet also has some, but they've got only Medium (6-7) and XXL (14-15) leftover.
