I offer for consideration my ninja/samurai sandals (according to @Lamont-Cranston ) - already shown in the MYOG gear thread. Not much good for river crossing but designed for camp wear with socks (to discourage ticks). Total weight 36g for the pair
I cant use sliders, flip flops etc as camp shoes as Scotland floats (where I walk), whenever you step out of the tent/bothy theres a good chance (more often than not) your getting wet feet/socks, my first ever pair of camp shoes were north face baffies, lovely and warm, but soaking wet 2 minutes later. Dumped in a bin near spean bridge. I then made my own "foam mat" sliders, they were even worse, plus they fell apart anyway My camp shoe also needs to be ok for river crossings, that's actually my main stipulation, camp shoe is an added bonus
As good as the day I made them!... Okay, not worn since the day I made them. A distinct lack of camping in past 2 months has meant that they have not yet been tested in the field. I used very thin insoles but they should still give some protection from stones and sharp bits. Stronger insoles would give better protection but would of course weigh more.
