Peter, They are a definite hazard. A friend of mine is an instructor, and he has seen firsthand a paddler get their sandal snagged in the cockpit, and nearly drown. He now does not allow sandals in his classes or tours. I personally live with the stinky surf shoes and boots as a result of his advice..
