Try BCF, they have that sort of thing. I got mine on special for around $30 bucks. I assume you are in oz.  My local also has tackle etc that members of this forum would find resonably acceptable.
I'm from the other side of the earth, Norway. That's the reason I would like to save some money on postage, and buy som baits an terminal tackle in same time.
Do you have a web page I could try?

Thanks
Tight lines
Martin

I hope I am not out of line here. Please forgive me if one of the sponsors stocks them. I have always got them from Melton International in the states. These are a top deck sandal worn by a large percentage of the Marlin fleet in Cairns.

Hi Martin,

I have a pair of the Adidas Jawpaw2 and also a couple of Crocs too.  In terms of grip and comfort, I highly recommend the Jawpaw2.   They are light and specifically designed for outdoor adventure.  Excellent grip for deck use and water drains out easily.
Cheers.

Go the crocs as they are light, washable, and grippy  :)

Like the look of the new crocs (ankle boot style)

Vibram Five fingers without a doubt look a bit funny but you don't look like a  paedo like in the crocs :)

Peado or Special Person - its a trade off, that's for sure!

Haha - I am special my mummy told me :)

As for walking on the reef - you shouldn't do that anyway - coral is fragile!
