They're brilliant as long as you don't have to continuously empty small rocks from them
EVA foam wears down faster than rubber so don't use them for distance, just camp/occasional short walks to take a break from your trail runners
Having said that I only pack my runners these days and plough through rivers in them, they drain and dry fast enough. I'd pack crocs for boat trips.

Crocs are by far the best cycling shoe to use with flat pedals. Light=less effort when spinning pedals all day, and knock off crocs (cheaper, less dense EVA) are about 200g for a pair which is unreal considering the sun and rain protection. They wipe clean, dry in seconds, breathe well, are comfy to walk in, and their smooth shape is quite aero. They're light enough that you could pack a pair of clean, normal shoes as well if attending social events on your tour.
Paired with warm socks and breadbags as vapour barriers you could tour in crocs all year round
