    Default ultimate tactical footwear or silliness?

    These are not water shoes...
    They are actual shoes to be worn in everyday life.
    I can see the advantage of getting ultimate barefoot freedom so that you can maneuver as freely as possible....
    but i would feel more comfortable with more protection....

    They scream "marketing" to me. why else would you put the "camo" on the soles?

    I sure as hell wouldn't want to "break them in". Way too many places for irritation.

    Good shoes for stalking.......camo is nice on the soles when you are sitting and calling turkey or other wary game.

    Hippies will start wearing them in cities and probably ruin it for me.....

    Does this mean I can't wear crocs to the range anymore?

    I'd like to see someone try to climb a chainlink fence in those. OOCH

    I've never called game before. Do you do it lying on your back with your feet in the air?

    When the turkeys come in quick on you, the only thing you can do is find a wide tree for up against your back to cover your silhouette. Depending on the terrain, w/ one leg bent under another if you're foot is exposed and the yellow cabelas diamond w/ a black sole on the bottom of your boot is exposed, move your foot, a turkey will pick that right up. Good idea, and vibram soles,......gonna have to give these a try.

    You'll see them on college campuses first. All over, too...just like those Ugg boots that used to be cool before they became trendy.

    They are $90 for the camo. some other styles are a little cheaper. I think $75 was the cheapest I saw.

    If someone does get a pair, give a review.

    it sucks the camo is only available with a neoprene upper. neoprene=sweaty feet.

    i might give these a try, if i can find a store that has them so i can try them on first. Sure i'll look like a fool, but i'll relish looking like a fool in my cool shoes.
