Hopefully something that dries straight away as well.
I like the Vass slip on shoes but I think they might absorb water in the mesh bit at the top..

Crocs don't absorb water & they float 🐊

I picked up a pair of green sliders in Aldi for about £5 a couple of years ago, they're perfect.

apparently genuine Crocs are made with something anti bacterial that helps stop your feet from sweating and smelling

but the copys your feet smell ?

I bought the Navitas on Gerry's recommendation. Great bivvy shoes with a decent grip. I must be possible to find them even cheaper in an unbranded version.

Must say I haven't found that. My cheapies are "gumbies" from a local factory outlet at £6 a pair. They are a bit thin on the bottom but I only wear them round the bivvy. They beat a pair of socks on a wet cold night.

I use some garden shoes, they are quite heavy so stay in place when slipping them on and are robust enough to wear as a proper shoe if the banks are muddy, they are neoprene so can wade out, but alas they don't dry all that quickly and are quite expensive.

A word of warning re crocs. Be VERY careful if the ground underfoot is clay. They offer no grip or traction whatsoever. Ended up with permanent damage to my rotator cuff when I slipped on a little patch of clay coming out of the bivvy.
