For those who want the lightest and most minimal camp shoe imaginable
The ultralightest Chaco-style camp shoes anywhere, the Imagos are lighter than a Snicker's bar, and roughly half a pound lighter than even the lightest of other “lightweight” outdoorsy sandals, making them great for backpackers, bikepackers, hunters, and other lightweight adventurers.
The Imago goes around the toes!
Handmade from tough/durable Coroplast (the stuff they make yard signs out of) and strong nylon cord, these camp shoes are absurdly adjustable, exceedingly comfortable, super colorful, easy to pack, and easier to clean. They're also made in the USA and guaranteed to last ... which is why Liz 'Snorkel' Thomas (triple-crowner, AT speed record holder, and author of 'Long Trails: Mastering the Art of the Thru-Hike") calls them an "amazing game-changer" and carries them in her pack.
Features:
- Ultralight - one pair weighs as much as 21 gummi bears
- Durable - made of tough coroplast and strong, reinforced nylon cord
- Adjustable - innovative design allows for adjustment in five ways, so they'll fit whatever paws you've got
- Comfortable - as snug as socks, but breathable and protective and not manky. And no toe thong all up in your toe webbing!
- Grippy - to prevent slipping, just the right amount of laser-cut nonskid (on both sides)
- Colorful
- Easy to clean - dunk 'em in a creek (they don't absorb water), or use almost any cleaner, from alcohol to Dr. Bronner's
- Superpackable - since each shoe is super-thin, and the cords are so flexible, you can stuff 'em in almost any pack

Chintzy as all get out
Overpriced garbage. If I can return these, I’m going to and instead, I’ll buy a pair of flip flops from the dollar store. They’d hold up better and a fraction of the cost.
Toes Hang Off Front
I haven't figured out how to wear these without my toes moving forward and off the sandals. They're lightweight, but still meet work.
Not great
I wanted to like these for their light weight and packability, but unfortunately they are only slightly better than being barefoot and in some instances worse. It’s almost impossible to balance properly if standing on the slightest of unlevel ground and sticks/rocks will puncture through them.
