Question: Which hiking shoe is best when one must swim and cross streams as well as go over rocky areas?
I will be hiking in Maui, and some of the hikes involve walking across or through streams, and swimming to get to the next part of the trail. I don’t want to switch shoes out, because it would be a hassle to keep one pair of shoes dry. I feel comfortable spending around $ 100 if needed, because I don’t want any blisters or sore feet while on vacation! Can you recommend a shoe for me?

Go to YELP or Craigslist and read reviews or post on their message boards there from Portland, or any city in Oregon.
I suggest when paying for online purchase, don’t use Paypal, it takes just once to be a victim. I was and it took 3 years to get my credit. Use your Credit Card, always, they can help you if any disputes.
AND beware of international shippings, they could add 3-25% extra fees, even if they price is cheap.
Example: My merchant was from Texas, but the product was shipped from Hong Kong.

When I go canoeing or hiking with lots of water crossings, I prefer Teva sandals. If the water and weather are cold, I canoe with wetsuit booties, but hiking in them is out of the question.
