Those colorful, perforated, goofy-looking soft plastic mold-injected shoes that have taken the world by storm. They really are super comfortable. Great for putting on in camp after a day of backpacking, or for fording rivers when that's required...or, for just lounging around the house. The name comes from the shoe's resemblance to the snout of a crocodile!
