I need to buy river shoes. I have a good pair of tevas back home but I forgot to bring them. They are 7 ish years old and the good tevas with padding. But I want to walk in very gravely rivers tomorrow.

My initial idea is just to go to Walmart and get the light weight neoprene river shoes that millennials like me have been wearing from the 80s. But I've never actually owned a pair of Crocs. I've worn them in jail a few times. Does their inherent bouyancy preclude them from being real river shoes? Should I just find an rei or other outfitter and buy a lightweight teva or teva clone that I know i love the design of?

Pic unrelated but all the good pics of running water were over 5mb.

Imagine being a free thinking adult male and never having been to jail at least once

professional level croc enjoyer here(I'm a chef so I get to wear them all day at work so I just don't buy anything else )
corcs fill up with gravel because they're open in the back and it gets under your feet and you have shake it out constantly
and yes they will fall off and they will float away
love my crocs but river walking is a bad use case
go for the oldschool aquasocks
