Lightweight shoes

Dunlop Volleys have been a shoe of choice for ages for canyoners, walkers and the like. Dave Noble at http://www.david-noble.net/blog/?p=951 finds that the quality has dropped. Has anyone got a good alternative that doesn't cost too much?

I know Roger Caffin swears by his Dunlop KT26s...

Even with normal day to day use here in Melbourne, I go through a pair of Volleys in the space of a few weeks. The soles start to peel away and its game over.

I've always used KT26's when I slip the boots off after a hard day, however nothing beats the comfort of a pair of Volleys.
