at all. did I say something that gave that impression?

The Crocs I have have not seen a day on the trail, so I am not all that 
worried about the traction.   Any suggestions on gear to ditch, add or 
replace?

     WC,  You were hiking in the DAKS!   My inlaws are from North Creek, NY 
( Johnstown) and my brother in law lives in Glen Falls.  Small world,  Last 
summer my son and I hiked to Siamese Pond, Huntly Pond, and Stoney Pond.... 
all GREAT hikes!   Do you have pics?

soles wear down they become treacherous on wet smooth surfaces ie.
rocks. I was crossing a stream above a waterfall last summer in the
Adirondacks while wearing a pair of well worn Crocs and I did just as
you suggest - "slip(ped) across quickly". Ended the day at Glen Falls
Hospital via a Johnsburg EMT transport for 15 stitches in the head.
That being said, I love the Crocs and you can't beat them for weight.
If they're new and have good tread maybe, but I might consider a low
kayaking booty (that was for you Wench) for the traction. Probably a
lousy camp shoe choice since they don't let the foot breathe - but did I
mention the traction? >>

after my 4 year old waldies (same thing as crocs) wore down to nothing on
the bottom, I recently had them resoled with a vibram sole. A llittle
heavier, but lots of traction.
