The fuzzy pink ones are on special at Walmart. They are a real conversation starter.

old rugged crossEnded up ordering Birkenstock boston clogs. Nice fit. Seem pretty comfy but don't have any time in them yet. Nice and light the leather looks like it is really good quality. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Pickle RickI know I am late to the party. Crocs makes an outdoor rugged pair up to size 15. I have these and can't say enough about them. Soles are made of different material and with stand all my outdoor adventures. Hell people compliment and ask where to get them. They are called all terrain crocs. Adjustable heel strap etc. For shits and giggles give them a peek on Amazon. Happy hunting. John.

MikeinNCI wear Sperry Topsiders unless it’s flip flop weather (the pool).
I had a pair of LL Bean comfort Mocs for years till they finally died.

BeanheadCrocs are like Glock. Not pretty or fashionable for some.
They just work.

OaklaneI agree with MCMike, I’ve worn Sperry 3 eyed Billfish for a long time, on about my 12th paid, if I don’t have work boots on it’s the Billfish. I do have a pair of Birks that are really growing on me though. I used to laugh at the thought of slip on shoes, now that I’m in my 60s, I’ve come to appreciate them and the more slip onable the better!

bald1Among boat shoes I found Dunham's leather boat shoes to be great in the extra wide I need. Look identical to the 3 eyed topsiders. I have two pair.

MillironI wear a pair of wool fleece lined Sorels in the winter. Known as my “wood getting shoes”, I pretty much do everything in them.

He may not like it--probably doesn't; I don't--but he knows it's so, and knowing is the first step in coping with it."

I've been wearing Sketchers for the last 6 months or so and love them. Easy on/off and very comfortable.

old rugged crossThought I would update now that I have some time with my Birkenstocks.
Let me say again, I am not some hippie. Far from it. I have a brother in law who is and has always worn them though.
But I did break down and order a pair of the boston oil leather cork bed ones. The were about $150. Made in Germany. I must say they are incredibly comfortable. Also quite durable. I walk in a lot of gravel. Held up just fine. Did I say they are comfortable. I am really impressed with them. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Did I say how comfortable they are.

sig2392Sperry has been sold again.
My last ones only lasted a season.
I will wait for a while to see what people say about the quality under the new owner.
I have been going between Sperry and Timberline boat shoes for decades.
I have a couple of pairs of slip-on LL Beans for everything but summer. Their rubber mocs for fall and spring and their higher fleece-lined slip-on boots for winter.
