I keep sandals for wearing on shore, but never while paddling.  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.
