Hi

Just came across these shoes at the "A Blog on the Landscape" and I thought these might be of interest as camp shoes. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has used them.



More details on them at the OneMovement website. The price is EU10 and it seems that they ship to internationally.

Ive got to be honest here, the black ones look like they would fit in perfectly with a pair of spats and a tuxedo and you and Fred Astaire could put on a dandy dance number!

so yes I think they look kinda goofy.

Never seen any but, don't wait for group approval, ... go for it,

Might be OK for needing to go to the Loo in the middle of the night, keep your socks dry.
or maybe way oversized ,
as galoshes to pull over your bike shoes

Ah well, for me around camp, practicality wins hands down over looks. Heck I use orange Crocs at the moment

mmm and maybe river crossings? I do wonder if their use options maybe too limiting given the thinness of the sole.

re practicality, ya I know what you mean, Im big on that too. I guess Im used to crocs now but I remember them seeming pretty goofy at first too--I'd say with these its the pointy front, and yes, the thin soles look too thin and that crocs would be better overall...

One thing that caught my attention with these is that they look like they would pack down quite well, whereas the Crocs are a pain in the regard.

yea or nay notwithstanding, here is a photo of what I was picturing in my head and the reference--

Only if you insist on carrying them inside of your panniers, which I feel no need to do. I just clip my crocs on top of the load with a carabiner. No hassle at all IMO.

The OneMoments are lighter than Crocs. I like that, but they are probably a bit more effort to put on and take off. I like that I can just step into and out of my crocs (I don't usually use the straps). I'd like to try the OneMoments to see how they feel.

I saved a plastic bottle, so I don't have to get up at night,
it hangs off the back of the load..

From my experience it depends on the context of your touring. I assume you ride on roads and hence you don't have a problem and I can understand that, however I sometimes tour on single track and it can be a potential problem.

I also come from a bushwalking background where one of the early lessons learnt is to pack everything in the pack. Getting caught on branches etc is not fun, particularly if going off-track which I did a lot. Hard enough on your hands and knees with a pack on your back without gear hanging off the pack to catch on the bushes etc.

So for me I prefer to have everything packed away. Reduces the chance of loosing gear too, as I have learnt the hard way.

I think they look practical and neat. They seem useful.

Teva sandals are the best. Great soles that are stiff enough to hike or ride in and they lay flat when in your panniers. Not as light as flip flops or crocks but more useful for real off the bike walking.
