If you want to market something to boaters, you have to really sell how the product will help you be lazy. Because tapping at an oar once every couple miles while sipping a cold beer under an umbrella counts as a sport, okay? But only with enough gear.<\/p>\n<p>NRS doesn\u2019t pretend that I\u2019m an epic kayaker\/ultra marathon running mama. They know that sometimes reaching down to tie my shoes is too much work, which is why they call it the \u201cCrush.\u201d Because I am encouraged to crush the back of the shoe down with my heel and not feel bad about it. Brilliant, NRS designer, just brilliant. I hope you sent a pair to your mother with the explicit \u201cSMASH DOWN THE HEEL\u201d instructions just to make her feel bad about all the times she yelled at you for ruining your gym-class sneakers.<\/p>\n<p>The Crush also appeals to my deep-rooted boater laziness because it means I can pack only one pair of closed-toe shoes for everything. Is it a water shoe or a hiking shoe? It\u2019s both. And the sneaks protect my perfectly river-manicured toes on both the wet rocks and the dry rocks (because we all know they\u2019re both slippery).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9477\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9477\" style=\"width: 684px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9477 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/31184658\/Jeanies-Feet.jpg\" alt=\"Jeanies Feet\" width=\"684\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/31184658\/Jeanies-Feet.jpg 684w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/31184658\/Jeanies-Feet-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/31184658\/Jeanies-Feet-441x300.jpg 441w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/31184658\/Jeanies-Feet-50x34.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9477\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Jean Slade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>My first test run of the Crush shoe was on a Chalk Basin hike this spring in the Owyhee Canyonlands. I had gotten route directions from a sixty-year-old dory boatman, so I knew I\u2019d be a) lost, b) cliff-ed out, c) sliding down sand, and d) two hours later than expected. I put the Crush to the test. It turns out the Idaho print rubber isn\u2019t just a gimmick. The shoes gripped the rocks well, didn\u2019t pick up cheat grass like a mesh shoe, and made me feel sassy, which everyone knows is the key to surviving a long walk in the desert.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve taken the Crush shoe to high alpine lakes in the Sawtooths, through poison ivy to the Warren Creek cabin on the Main Salmon and to Middle Fork overlooks. Would nice hiking boots or running shoes give me more support? Sure. But the truth is, I don\u2019t really want\u00a0to hike any faster than the Crush shoe allows because I am a lazy, lazy boater.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9475\" src=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/31184659\/LaFortuneCrush2_web.jpg\" alt=\"LaFortuneCrush2_web\" width=\"576\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/31184659\/LaFortuneCrush2_web.jpg 576w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/31184659\/LaFortuneCrush2_web-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/31184659\/LaFortuneCrush2_web-42x50.jpg 42w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Okay, you caught me. I only swirl around under an umbrella in my river dreams. Guiding multi-day trips is actually just sixteen hours straight of pushing and lifting heavy things punctuated by dripping sweat into dutch oven charcoal briquettes. And you know what\u2019s stupid? Trying to lift heavy things over rocks in flip flops. That\u2019s all I\u2019ve learned in six years of commercial guiding. The Crush is great for the put in and take out and any time I\u2019m worried about catching my boat on every other rock in the river (cough, Middle Fork off the top at 1.6 feet). They\u2019re also sturdy enough for wet-wade fishing when I want to concentrate on catching trout, ignoring the warning that every swift water safety class I\u2019ve ever taken has told me explicitly: never wade in swift, deep water.<\/p>\n<p>No mesh and a durable fabric is a selling point, but what the hell is that smell? The lack of breathability is\u00a0a downside, because I have stinky ass feet. Even in Idaho&#8217;s negative eight percent humidity, the Crush shoe still takes a solid hour in the sun to dry out and they don\u2019t smell pleasant when they do. Your best bet is to stop being so lazy and only use these shoes for sweaty pursuits OR river pursuits. And wear socks, ya hippy.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14868\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14868\" style=\"width: 2500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14868\" src=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/31181311\/NRS_MeghanRolfe-242_RGB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/31181311\/NRS_MeghanRolfe-242_RGB.jpg 2500w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/31181311\/NRS_MeghanRolfe-242_RGB-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/31181311\/NRS_MeghanRolfe-242_RGB-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/31181311\/NRS_MeghanRolfe-242_RGB-1000x667.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14868\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Meghan Rolfe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NRS doesn\u2019t pretend that I\u2019m an epic kayaker\/ultra marathon running mama.
