what kind of footwear would you use


I was thinking keen sandals

i have mine but haven't had a chance to try them out yet due to a foot injury,

I've heard somewhere of people hiking the AT with these, does anyone know where I might have heard it from?

I'm just thinking from a water standpoint, being in the water all the time etc.
 
Well the best footwear for waterlogged area are the Watersocks, i think they're from ADIDAS ..... i usually just wear my TEVA sandals, they're light, easy to pack, tight (with straps), protects my toes (up to a certain extend) and easy drying (except for the straps) .....

Do you not have parasites in the water in that part of the world?
