what is "tit gear " then

Safety flip flops are the way to go.
'tit gear' is gear that makes you look a tit. You don't wear those rubber perforated turd things do you?

I don't know about other heath boards but they are banned throughout mine for infection control purposes and anti static precautions around anaesthetic gases. The nurses aren't allowed to wear them.
Plus they look stoopid

Flip Flops with steel toe caps, know I'd like to see a pair of them

[Hightower]

I must admitt that Crocs aren't the best designer shoes to wear, but must be pretty comfortable.

These Sharx look to be a cross between crocs and trainers. These don't look too bad. Clicky

Hmmm...

£30 I read somewhere, I think they'll be on my feet before June is out.....

yes i wear them , they are the best ever for water shoes , and I have tried them all over the years , working teaching kayaking etc all week .not just for a days pottering at the weekend .
They dry faster than anything else which helps prevent your feet getting sore ,
give a bit of protection to you toes over the rocks
easily kicked off if you are swimming
they float
they don't make your feet sweat or stink .
They are the cheapest

havin spent a fiver and with no footrot Iam happy to look stoopid

Only downside is they are not the best grip on a slimy slip , but what is ?

I never knew rubber boat drivers were so fashion concious , I thought that was for the yotties and gin palace brigade , wonder what shirt and tie is the best to wear

Its fair to say that crocs are not high fashion, and I only wear them in the summer when the last thing you want to be lumping around in are sodding wellies. Besides I don't think Durbarry shamrocks would match my thong.

Walking on water, I like the Idea of that

But why go for 150's, there are much bigger engines on the market

My old pair have had it and have almost crippled me today, they've been binned.

So what do you guys use?

crocs - fantastic and loads of grip

Clogs on parade Now that I'd like to see!

Do you think they wear em whilst flying their Tornados around, might explain why so many of them crash

[Hugh Jardon]

andy

get a nice orange pair....you wont lose them then

i must admit i thought crocs were a bit dodgy looking until i purchased a pair and found how amazingly comfy and practical they are.... and when around water i dont think there is anything handier.

they do of course do them in " stealth " colours !

[codprawn]

Do you get the problem of sand and grit being carried into them through the slots and then cutting into your feet???

if walking along the beach then yes but you would get that with various shoes, you can get a bit of rubbing from the sand if you are not careful. but a quick rinse does the trick.

[Sailshots]

Would recommend these...have used them for a couple of years..excellant grip on wet surfaces..and very comfortable
