Does anyone know of foot covers 'like' the Zemgear shoes? (https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zemgear.com%2Fimages%2Fh2o-lime_27be.png&hash=e1f34b4de0878d7d29b32f2c20dbcc0a02c97d65)

I think I'd like the Zemgear...

Foot covers for your shoes/boots? Or just a neoprene sock?

Not a cover for the shoes/boots. Just something super light, warm, water proof would be nice, doesn't need to have a sole, but that'd be fine too, that I can slip on my feet with/without sox for in the tent/bag or sitting next to my fire/cook stove while eating after a long hike. I mean.. Ounces light. After a long hike I do like to pull the pad/liner out of my boots and let things air in the sun if possible. So I'd like some sort of foot covering that I can walk around camp in.

Hmmm....sounds like some Goretex socks might be in order? Or those Zem gear shoes, although they aren't waterproof. They are funky looking, but you can totally walk around in camp with them on. For warmth, a nice light pair of wool socks would be perfect inside. The shoes are insanely light, they were originally designed for beach volleyball players who were complaining of their feet burning on the hot sand. They pack into nothing and would pack very flat in the bottom of a pack. I just recently met with their sales rep and they had samples to try on. They were a little strange at first, but everyone on my team instantly thought this would be a great camp shoe when backpacking. I'll most likely pick a pair up for that purpose
The next best thing for weight saving would be crocs, but they are bulky and mostly would have to hang from your pack.

The Zemgear shoes could double as water shoes though. ....

Swanny - were the zemgear pretty durable on the soles? Would they offer enough protection/grip to wade a stream in?
You could wade through a stream in them no problem I think, since rocks tent to be round and smooth.. I wouldn't hike a trail in them though.
