Water shoes

The last water shoes I had/have are Speedos.  I went to there page and it looks like Speedos has redesigned their shoes.  The ones I have are flat and were useless for walking on anything but sand.

My gf is adamant about me getting a proper pair of sandals for walking around.  She tolerates my American white trash wardrobe, so for this trip I'll make her happy and pretend to care about what I wear.

For footwear I'll bring a pair of hiking shoes for jungle sightseeing, my $5 rubber flip flops for the beach, and for walking around town I'm going to buy theses: DockersŪ Hogan Sandals

They're 35 bucks.  I went to a DSW and looked at and tried on a bunch of different sandals, I hated all of them.  She saw this pair in a Kohl's advertisement and said they were nice.  I hate these too, but I've realized I hate all sandals so if I'm going to have to wear sandals for her benefit, I might as well wear the sandals she wants.  These are reasonably priced and at least this way one of us will be happy.

Besides unlike those big toe hoop sandals, if I start to burn the tops of my feet I can always wear socks with this pair.

Clearly someone who has never had that sunburn.  Once you have it socks, shoes, air, gravity, thinking, existing will make your feet blister.

Check out Keen's  http://www.keenfootwear.com/  The most comfortable/functional pair of sandals I have ever owned.  They are expensive but I have worn mine non stop for 4 years and I am finally looking for a new pair now.

(built up large tolerance over long period of time) (never gotten the sunburn)

Well duh.

Now spend ten years without any exposure there and then go sit on a tropical beach for ten hours.  Can happen to anyone not accustomed to that exposure.

BTW, this is probably a good time to mention we should avoid jim's jacked up feet.   :P
