NRS Attack shoe vs. Teva P2?

I need to get a good, fairly low-profile bootie. Does anyone have opinions on either of these two? And if anyone out there has used the Nike Toketee I was kind of curious about that one too. (I know it's not still made but it can still be found)
Thanks.

I am wondering the same thing. What did you end up getting? I am leaning toward the Teva, but not quite sure.

haven't bought anything yet. but I am also leaning towards the teva. the only thing that i'm worried about is the split toe. if i ever needed to add a thin sock, like a hydroskin, for realy cold temps then it would be a problem.

tried on the Teva today

The split toe felt a little funky but got used to it in a couple of minutes
The sole is about halfway between the NRS Desperado shoe and Desperado sock. It also has a little drain hole under the heal

I think it depends on what boat you are in. My feet are pretty snug in my playboat and the split toe rubs in an uncomfortable way. But if you are in a creeker or a roomier boat, they would probably be nice. Good sticky rubber and drain holes, and a little padding on the ankle makes them functional. They supposedly have an anti-stink component too, but I haven't worn them enough yet to stink them up. I had to go back to my old ones to be comfy in my EZG. I think if I would have tried them on before I got them, I might have made a different choice, but they will be good to have for days in the big boat (scouting, walking, etc).

paddled the tokatee for the last 2 yrs. they fall apart pretty quick & never seemed super "sticky" on rocks, but they did offer a pretty good amount of stability/support.

i have a pr of P2's now & like them a lot thus far. i'd like em better if they were less like a booty & more like a shoe (i.e., more support around the ankle), cuz i'm mostly creeking & am out on the rocks a lot hiking around with the boat & such. but they're super sticky on rocks. i found the split-toe (lobsterclaw .. cameltoe..) thing to be comfy. i even wore them with a drysuit & they weren't totally uncomfortable with the internal sock of the drysuit either. i like them.

i think teva's gonna go back into production with the avatar, which is the best creek boot to date.

Just got my Tevas yesturday. They are size 9.5 and fit into my Crazy 88 6.2 comfortably. The split toe feels fine. Seems like a good bootie.
