I am thinking of wearing some Salomon water shoes for my summer tour.

I have some keen sandals. I have several times cut my heals because they are open in the back. The Salamons have a little protection for the heal. I find the Salomons more comfortable on the bike. I like the keens for walking around warm rainy cities.

As the person who is best at sticking my foot in my mouth, this is the thread I should start,no_?

Is this song good enough

As I type this, a mosquito or a no see um or something bites my ankel. Do sandles have a down side? last month, I hiked the wilderness coast in Olympic National Park. My boots did not smell so good after a week. I washed my socks in a waterfall, I dried my boots in the sun, after a wave got me. I try to do some of my touring in more isolated areas. Places without laundry mats. Perhaps for the best. As I make people upset just by listening to the wrong music, (sorry).
