For When You’re Walking Wet
Posted by admin under: Equipment .
My son and daughter just went on a hike to Spruce Falls near Ojai with the Boy Scouts and Venturing Crew this past weekend. With all the great rain we’ve had in southern California recently they had to do some creek hopping. A while back I wanted desperately to get some good hiking sandals that would allow you to walk through the creeks instead of fearing the water. What to get, though? Boys’ Life has the answer in their article about light footwear. Bottom line is you’re probably spending around $100 to get decent trail/water sandals. I like having articles like this to refer back to, though, when I’m checking out prices and styles.
It’ll be nice when I can afford that someday. Until then I just wear my $15 water socks from Big 5 Sporting Goods and switch back to my boots when it looks like I won’t have to tread water for a while.
