Re: catalina27-talk: sailing shoes

[Ralph E. Ahseln]

While I wouldn't call them  "working" boat shoes.. (Racing, heavy weather cruising...etc) I might recommend ..   CROCS..   http://www.thecrocsstore.com/   Light weight, NON-Marking (one year test), comes in a couple versions of Open toed or closed, With a flip of the strap it can become a Slip On or a strapped down, Floating, not all that expensive and what's more...Comfortable.   After one year there's little wear. The Back strap has stretched a bit, but not badly.   (And if you are very daring,  Many Wild and Crazy colors)   Available in lots of local Hardware and Garden stores Or. Direct from Internet..     Ralph Ahseln (You'll have to pry my CROCS from my cold dead hands.. )
