I bring camp shoes on all but overnights. Its not a "luxury item" for me, its a necessity. My feet are very sweaty and get thrashed wearing the same pair of dirty shoes all day. I've tried to ditch camp shoes on too many trips where I ended up with bad blisters and athletes foot.
I've done a lot of looking and these Chinese style shower shoes are the best I've found.
I wear a size 11 and these clock in at 8.1oz for the pair.
This thicker style shoe is also MUCH more suitable for walking in the backcountry than other comparable weight choices such as Old Navy flip flops. No more ripping out the thong strap on the first night of a 5 day trip.
I also find them very squishy and comfortable which is important since me and plantar fasciitis are in a fight right now.
Not these ones. These are work clog Crocs, no holes
Found them on Amazon also: http://www.amazon.com/Mens-Hounds-Ultralite-Shoes-Black/dp/B018IVV3OO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1463540991&sr=8-4&keywords=hounds
I don't know if any clinics allow the ones pictured here, but you CAN get completely enclosed Crocs. I have some - like these. Ugly as heck, but I wear them for necropsies (large animals) and other things that might be particularly messy/disgusting, and for international work where I might be exposed to something I don't want to bring back to the US. A quick toss in some disinfectant and they are clean as can be.
I don't wear them on a daily basis like some people do, though.
I’ve had these Crocs for a few weeks now and I really like them. My feet don’t hurt after an 8 hour shift and they were only around $25 so if you don’t like them it’s not a big deal (and you can get free shipping with Amazon Prime). They’re not like clogs, they’re easy to walk in with no heal.

Is this the same model? The tread picture is too dark to see anything, but they appear to have lugs (knobs on the tread), which I believe is going to compromise a shoe's slip resistance. I'm also unable to find 'src' anywhere on the page.
Now compare that lugged Birkenstock sole and its sipe pattern (sipes are the little lines on car tires that wick water away from the tire's contact patch) to https://www.amazon.com/Crocs-Womens-Bistro-Resistant-Nursing/dp/B00E1LFPGI/. This is an SRC shoe...note the complex sipe pattern and complete lack of lugs.
The Birkenstocks are no doubt more of a hybrid tread, while I believe the lugless Crocs put all of their skill points into no-slip. From what I've gathered so far, you don't want lugs if slippery surfaces are THE concern.
I'm still gathering info on this, if any of this is inaccurate please let me know!
I would rent one of the many awesome chalets in Quebec and disappear off the grid for an entire month with my hubby (/u/miketava) and the dog.
We could eat hot dogs and salads and smores and drink cheap beer.
We could spend our days outside and maybe go fishing for a couple dinners.
We'd bring some exercise equipment and get tanned (and probably mosquito bitten a la max),
We'd read, write, draw, play card games and board games. We'd lie around and do nothing. We'd go lay on the edge of a lake, we'd skip rocks on the water. We'd have a freaking blast!
On one or more of the weekends, we'd have either family or friends over to party a little and take advantage of the few summer months we have here.
$2500 would be more than enough for that (considering we'd buy food at home for the month regardless!!!)
I'd bring this because I love badminton and it would be a good way to get active while having fun!
and a couple of these because mosquitos love me and eat me alive.
aaaaaaaaand a pair of these - don't hate. They're comfy, waterproof and washable. Perfect for a month in the wilderness! :D
The rest would be the basics:
Now I want to do this! Unfortunately, we're not having a vacation this year since we're trying to save up for the wedding next year...
Thanks for the contest! <3
Fantastic! It's great to see contributions that branch out from the US.
I'd like to support the post with extracts from my shopping basket. I'm not trying to shoehorn my way in here, but I have to take the opportunity to mention some simillar items.
TOP
Alternative to the Burton jumper
It's a tenner more (they're always in some kind of offer) and the difference in quality is significant. Good choice of colours, feels great and the fit is a little adjustable, too. If you wash it cold (30-40C) and then wear it straight after for half an hour (or as long as you want!) it will re-form around you. I use these in autumn and spring, too, and for work as a well as casual wear. They've earnt the praise in my eyes. £25
I can't find it exactly, but this is nearly the shirt I picked up from Debenhams recently. Light blue, good thick cotton, button down lapel, but white buttons. The thing to remember about the British summer is that it's often not that warm. Evenings on the beach with a stiff breeze or a park barbecue call for reduced layers but something with the thickness to bounce the wind off if you need it. I tend to keep my mouth shut for the shame of being told to "man up", but I bloody hate the cold and denying that summer isn't always warm has never worked for me. £36 (mine was £27 with an introductory offer)
BOTTOM
I can only support the H&M trousers choice
Be warned, the lack of sizing options means that they're likely to be a little long on guys up to 5'9". Not a problem for rolling up, but it takes the choice away if you ever want to wear them without cuffs. I use them as "throw away" chinos. Going to the park? Weatherspoons? A student night? If it's somewhere you're likely to get something spilt on you, grass stains or other concerns, I take the H&Ms out. £20
On the other hand, I wear these as a staple for when I'm not mucking around. They're likely to give way to shorts as the weather warms up, but get them measured and taken up in shop (free of charge) and the range of sizing and fit options means you'll get a great fitting pair of trousers out of it. £35
Pink and blue, I love them! I have a problem with shorts. Because I'm a shorter man (5'8", ladies) I struggle to find a pair of above-the-kness that actually sit above the knees. However, if you pick up a pair of these when you stop by uniqlo to buy trousers, and you're very nice to the always pretty lady behind the counter, there's a good chance they'll take them up a bit for you when they do your trousers. Pro tip. Light blue should not be warn with the light blue oxford shirt. £20
Belt me. A nice, plain leather belt for holding things up and tucking things in. I have a belt extremely simillar to this which I can't remember where I bought it; it has served me well, and when it wears out I shall buy another. £13
Belt me, too. Wear it with the same outfit as the above belt, and you've immediately changed the look. Switching small accessories like belt and shoes can help stave off an outfit becoming stale quickly. This belt is a little bit last season but I still like it. Also, it's cheap as chips. £13
SHOES
Sperrys of some form. This is non-negotiable; they won't let you down, and they'll make you a man, my son. I have oatmeal ones (I also like the look of the navy/dark brown styles), as I prefer lighter colours, but I don't know where to get them online as I picked them up from a local shoe shop for £35 because the box was hidden under all the shoes in the world and had been mis-priced as a result. Sometimes, I feel guilty about this, but then I look at my shoes and think damn, luck is sexy. Expect to pay £50-70 if you shop around.
Ok, not quite shoes but combine with the Sperry's for a look I'm still not sure if I like. I actually thoroughly reccomend next's sock range for a cheap way to inject colour in to your footwear. £12-15 for 5
A word on sandals: Be. Exceedingly. Careful.
No. You will look like a hippy. Some people like the flippity-flop look, but I'm not a fan. It just looks the wrong kind of laid back.
Definitely no. These sorts of sandals (and simillar) are probably comfortable, reliable and hardwearing, but beware: even without socks, you look like the kind of person who takes holiday planning way too seriously.
Awww, hell no. I don't even feel the need to justify this.
This is the very borderline of acceptable for me, although I am likely anti-sandal due to finding it very hard to pull them off (personally) and 90% of the time seeing others fail to do so. I'd say something like this with neat, clean lines and a solid build quality would work when justified by the environment (beach, some form of hiking), but otherwise avoid unless very confident. If you are going to wear them, please don't forget to clean your feet of any dodgy nails, skin or random stains. £70
This sort of thing also gets me going at the moment. Again, warnings about mixing blues here, but this is given more as an indication of the style than a specific pair. I think it's been mentioned elsewhere, but the smart suede shoes/shorts combination is really getting me going at the moment. Ankle/invisible socks are a must. £45

Sve ostalo je necivilizirano.
Mine are super dark, and it looks like I have some kind of disease on my foot but I'm almost always wearing my Crocs during the day, so you can't really see them. I live in Wisconsin and I seriously put these things on in March after the snow melts (maybe before, I have been known to shovel snow in them) and don't take them off until December. They are three season shoes for me because I have naturally hot feet and hate wearing socks. If there is a better "shoe" out there, I don't know what it is. Also I buy these and take the stupid heel strap off, so I don't have the heel strap that you can't remove and have to flip up.
Crocs bistro These are about equal in comfort and ugly, and more durable than you'd expect. I've got a 3 year old pair (used 1-2 shifts a week at a second job) that's just starting to lose tread. Good nonslip as well. Amazing value if you can find them in your size for under $30.
Sanita/Dansko Once your feet and your clogs get acquainted, you simply cannot find anything better to work in. As a bonus, they force you to use better posture and help to reduce or eliminate back pain. My first pair lasted me over 5 years. My second pair is about 3 years old and looks to be ready to last longer than that. Worth every penny you'll pay.
FYI, Sanita was marketed exclusively by Dansko in the US for years. That's over, and now both companies sell the same shoes.
I'm curious too. I've had these in the past, but they just completely fall apart after a year or two.

I don't have time to read through all the comments, but I recommend Crocs or the $10 knock-offs on Amazon. The Amazon ones run about a size big, but they are good for any weather. And because they are so cheap, you can toss them after roo if you want.
Yup!
Typically I wear chef pants, a t-shirt and an apron. Nike socks (that's what I've worn all my life and they're comfy) and just picked up these shoes which I love: https://www.amazon.com/crocs-Unisex-Bistro-Black-Womens/dp/B0014JKJHK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1492139297&amp;sr=8-5&amp;keywords=croc+black+work
I’ve had a pair of Ugg Tasman Tweed slippers that I’ve been thrilled with. I’ve worn them daily through three winters with occasional ventures outside the house and they still look brand new. Remarkably comfortable, too.
They’re shown as out of stock, but these are the ones.
Right now, the thing I want most is this piano set that I've been saving up for for ages. Thing I want least...hm, probably a copy of The Emperor's New Groove. I very much love that movie, but I want the other things on my list more. What I'm waiting for is Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix as well as Tales of Xillia. As for things the world could do without, I think there's really only one true item the world could definitely do without. XD
One word - clogs!
