Crocs Classic Clog — What you actually change into at 4 p.m.
Best overall

What you actually change into at 4 p.m.

Crocs Classic Clog

~350 g/pair, wipe-clean, wears with socks

Unbeatable in a lodge — on and off without bending down, warm over thick socks, fine for the walk to the toilet block at 2 a.m. They look ridiculous, which is the entire cost.

Feet decompress after eight hours in boots

Rinse clean, dry in minutes

Cheap enough to leave behind at the end

Bulky for their weight in a duffel

No support for anything but pottering

Aesthetics

Not for you if: You are counting every gram on a climbing permit. Take a thin down bootie instead.

Naturehike Down Booties

The single best comfort-per-gram item above Dingboche; useless as an outdoor shoe, so most people end up carrying these AND something for outside.
