    Default Sandals for use with neoprene-footed waders?

    This is basically a float tube question: Does anyone know of a brand of sandals that are designed to fit over the neoprene-feet of waders? I have often been faced with the problem of walking to the water with my float tube -- not exactly a hike, but farther (and rougher) than I care to walk in just the wader feet.

    I'm thinking sandals because of easy on-and-off and ease of storage in my tube's small "locker."

    I reject out of hand any suggestion that I wear my fins and walk backward.

    Paul,
    Do you want them to put flippers over or just to walk to the water in then take off and stow? I wear slip on sandles I got at big 5 for about 15 bucks Just 2 buckle straps across the top of the foot and no heel strap. Just gett'em big enough to fit the neoprene stocking.
    I'm either going to, coming from or thinking about fishing. Jim

    When I coached soccer, a bunch of the guys used this type sandal to wear when they were walking around in sock feet before they put their cleats on. If you oversize them a size, you should be able to get them over a neoprene stocking foot.

    I'm pretty sure Sports Authority and Dicks carries something similar.

    Thanks, guys. All the sandals I own are max size and are not big enough to fit over neoprene-feet, but the Adidas Slides come as large as sizes 14 and 15, so I ought to be in business with one of those those. I'm so glad I posted here, and I'm so glad you folks were so helpful. Thanks a heap!
