Crocs shoes for Yellowstone

Has anyone used ';Crocs'; shoes instead of boots or tennis? My feet always hurt %26amp; Crocs are the only shoes I can walk in all day. Any feedback would be appricated.

Personally, I wouldn%26#39;t wear Crocs for walking in the Park - unless it was in the paved areas or on the boardwalks.

Any of the other trails have a lot of loose gravel, pine needles, exposed roots, etc. which would make your walking without a closed shoe of some type pretty unstable.

A compromise would be to find a pair of comfortable shoes before your trip and break them in. Then you could keep them in the car and use them for any trail walking.

The rest of the time, you can keep your Crocs on!

I always get rocks and stuff in my crocs when outside of paved areas. I live on a dirt road and have a dirt driveway and can not get to the mailbox without stopping a few times to get rocks (and even cactus spines, lol) out of my shoes.

Best to have some kind of walking or athletic type shoes. That said, there are some more sturdy crocs out there, maybe they would work for you.

I love my Croc sandals and walked all over Disney for 2 weeks in them last year but I also wouldn%26#39;t recommend them for any real hiking. If they make a closed shoe (not sure??) that may work, but any sandal or open backed shoe will probably give you more trouble than its worth.

thank you for all your advise. I will look for good walking shoes.

Crocs does make a closed, waterproof style called ';all terrain'; that%26#39;s supposed to be a decent walking shoe that goes just about anywhere. It has a leather upper (which seems kind of anti-Croc). Haven%26#39;t tried them.
