    Do we not use these anymore? I don’t go swimming enough to know, but it seems like with water being dirtier than ever it’s a good idea not to cut your feet in the sea

      Water is absolutely not dirtier than ever, at least in the US. American waterways are the cleanest they have been in 100 years.

      I’ve got 3 or 4 pairs, pick 'em up at thrift stores or on sale. Essential for kayaking, canoeing, etc.

      I absolutely use these, but mostly only when traveling, at which point they are my showering shoes.

      I worry a lot about the possibility of getting foot fungus, so avoid direct contact when in a hotel shower.
