First let me say these are great shoes. I think if you were only camping with water occasionally they would be great. I use them for surf fishing and have wide feet. Sand. In addition, they were filled with sand. I modified them by cutting a hole for my pinky toe to stick out and I drilled 3 1/2 inch holes in the sole to let the sand out. Looks like Frankenstein now, but perfect for me. I find unusual uses for them, so I don't blame the shoes. I love them for summer surf fishing
