Recommendations for portaging shoes
My partner and I are planning on doing quite a bit of portaging this summer and we’re looking for recommendations on sandals or shoes that would be good for the water as well as trails. Last summer, we both did a short portage in crocs, which was fine because the trail wasn’t that treacherous and most of the time was spent in the water but this summer we’re planning on hiking more which means we’d need a sturdier shoe. We try our best to be ultralight because we mostly do backcountry camping so we’d like to only have to bring one pair of shoes on the trip, which means it would need to be fast drying so they’re functional all day. Preferably close toed shoes, but also open to an open toed sandal if that’s the best option.
