For paddling, I have three choices...depending on the place and conditions. For heavy Winter paddling, I wear Chota Mukluks (knee high neoprene). For milder conditions, but still good thermal protection, I wear over the ankle neoprene booties. For much milder/warmer conditions, I wear Five-Ten Nemo water shoes. Each gives me the protection and comfort I want in various conditions, and none of them will snag on anything in the boat. I just wouldn't trust sandals in the boat...no matter how comfortable they might be.
