I have discovered this(probably been done before, but in my mind this is MINE)
VersaToes.....neoprene "ballet" type slippers, at TJMaxx....$5
Fit great, like aqua shoes....dry in like 5 minutes once wet....pack smaller than pair of ankle socks...
Check this out....remove insoles from hiking shoes, insert in slipper, insert foot......nice robust "sole" that soaks up rock bumps, etc.....allows for stream crossings, etc....the foam insole from shoe doesn't take on water either....
1.9 ounce, "custom fitted" as sole is already molded to foot, basically waterproof, packs tiny, cheap, durable camp/water shoe...
Why not take these...debate over for me.....
