Please- I'm after upgrading my Crocs. Think waking up and walking to the toilet block on dew covered grass etc

Want something lightweight, waterproof/resistant, slip-on, boot style, easy on and off, that don't soak up water and reasonalt priced.

I've been looking online at...

Crocs Hey Dude Branson Boot
Vans Mid Slip
Columbia Landroamer

Any thoughts or others I shoulld look at?

Thanks

Loads of options if you search for something like 'ankle wellies'...

I suppose it depends whether you want something cheap to sling on at a campsite, or something you'll be keeping on all day, that perhaps looks a bit more fashionable.

I cut my Steel toe cap wellies down to crocs. pretty handy to slip on for  wander the shed, especially if you then drop things on your foot.

If you happen to be size 47 Sportpursuit.com have Sealskinz bootees for £20. I've been using them for a couple of years they're great.

Dealer boots - basically steel toe capped chelsea boots. I wear mine all the time but it's really useful for camping (tent or van) because they slip on and off really easily. Cheap too

I have a pair for gardening and workshop use, but OP might want something lighter for camping?

Handy to have anyway though, think my Dickies were about £22.

I have some old goretex Inov8 trainers, lacesremoved and replaced with elastic quick laces so they are slip on. The goretex is old so useless in persistent  rain, but perfect for ‘pottering’, camping etc.

Rigger boots.

Mine live by the back door for trips to the bin, gardening,lunchtime walks, and come every in the car with us when we go camping. A decent pair will last you decades.
