i've owned a pair of those before and I admit I'd drive up to the top of Pikes Peak in them.
I did hike Mt. Marcy and Algonquin Peak in NY while wearing some birks (Milanos) back in college for reasons I'd rather not get into. It was mud season and pretty miserable.
I don’t mind flip flops for a quick fix for something to put on, but not to walk in or wear for very long. I do need a new pair and may grab some these.
about a half-dozen years ago I owned a pair of the "original" Teva Mush flipflops that I bought for about $10 from Sierra Trading Post... I admit, they were very comfortable, but not durable, as they only lasted one summer
also, back then the sole was not at all stiff and you could feel every little pebble and protrusion you walked over... I once had a thorn come all the way through and that was no fun... so they were basically flatland footwear
and, if the flipflops got the least bit wet, the bottoms of your feet would slip all over the now-lubricated Mush footpad, making ordinary walking an unpleasant adventure
hopefully this newer "Mush II" has some design improvements that address the earlier shortcomings
I need some arch support in my flops. I like olukais but the strap, despite being leather, stretched out pretty quick and now are more flop than flip. A little expensive given that criticism but still them best I have found.
I could use another pair of flip flops. I now need a pair next to the back door as well as the front.
Haven't had a chance to read the banter, but one thing that I don't recommend is using Tevas for boot skiing in the snow. Poor ankle support and you get snow/ice packed between your foot and the sole of the sandal.
My book for this trip is Kuhne's "River Master" about John Wesley Powell's first expeditions down the Green and Colorado Rivers. 14 weeks until our trip down the Green River through Canyonlands....can't wait!
I got th me green ones. They’re fantastic. No belt loops, it has a draw string inside the waistline eliminating the need for a belt. Super comfy and durable.
