[Philmont] to Croc or not to Croc?

Thanks! I'll take them shopping and see what we can find.

Susan,
I'll only say what I do and what I encourage our crews to do - take a
comfortable pair of lightweight sneakers as camp shoes. If that option
doesn't cut it, and you're thinking inexpensive, take a look at the
knock-off" Keens. Make sure they have a covered toe and fit properly. Some
even come with mesh sides.
 
Whatever they take for camp shoes, they'll want them to be a welcome respite
from their hiking boots.

I'm sorry Susan, but encourage the crew to make their own decision. I
wouldn't take crocs with me to Philmont for anything. Others on the list
think crocs are God's gift to camp footwear.
 
Any further discussion about this topic is futile.
 
Again, my apologies.

I am hearing conflicting info about crocs. My husband and two sons are going
to Philmont next week and at the last meeting, a couple of the boys who ahd
gone said crocs were not a good choice. I know there was a discussion about
crocs, but I can't remember what the outcome was?
 
All suggestions are appreciated!
