Unless it's a public shower house, I never wear flip flops. Lightest I go are Crocs. I think flip flops are a twisted ankle or knee waiting to happen. Crocs go on just as easy with the strap flipped forward and you can actually maneuver and even run in them if you suddenly need to. I don't know, maybe I'm just paranoid...

There is a massive difference between some careless teenybopper galavanting in the wild, and an experienced woodsman wearing sandals for his hike.
