Forget the word "sandal" or any other name one might give a piece of footwear.  It's my opinion that "any" piece of footwear that has some ability to loop or snag the footbrace is hazardous.  It might snag you while trying to wet-exit, and in effect tie you into a capsized boat.  The result would be very, very bad for you, your family, friends and co-workers.
