I’ve been looking at various camp/stream shoe solutions and haven’t seen anything that really did it for me in the 1 – 3 ounce range.
Then I saw this video:

I put some on the bottom of some wool socks and they’ve worked well just walking outside for a little bit. I haven’t been able to take them backpacking yet.
The plastic dip only adds 10 – 20 grams to the bottom of a pair of wools socks. The socks would dry fast and provide some cut and poke protection in stream crossings. They could also be used as camp shoes when dry.
I hadn’t seen this applied to backpacking before.
Thoughts? Has anyone tried this? Did I just waste $10?
