Need Sandals

No, no, a thousand times no. Obviously for the price, but more importantly, these aren’t safe if you need to walk in a rocky river or lake bottom. For that you need the Teva Omnium, which has great heel and toe protection and they last for years. I’ve been caught more than once in conditions where I had to walk long distances in the water on treacherous rocks wearing Crocs and my feet got torn up badly. And Crocs are better than these Chacos. Rugged footwear can be a lifesaver.

All I know is that I’m about to become one of those old dudes who wears socks under his sandals… at least out on the water. Seems every time I go out I wind up with sand and grit between the sandal and my foot and it hurts. A lot.

The last two pairs of Chacos I’ve owned required re-gluing fairly early in their lives. No more for me. I’ll try something like that Teva Omnium next.

Your feet are too tender.
