deck shoes??

I'm looking for some ultra soft deck shoes or sandles that don't mind being used and are comfortable to wear in the water and in the summer.

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

So what do you guys use?

I'm pretty happy with my Dubarrys. Not quite sure why the Goretex, but very comfortable

What about Crocs?

Take all the punishment, stay comfy and don't care if they get wet.

probably not quite right but i brought some C-Skin slip on neoprene shoes today for beach, boat and surfing. Their very thin soled but maybe a bit light.

Crocs look good and good value.

I saw some Sharx today, looked much more fashionable and had a fashion price tag too. £35
