I've had good success going to Target/Sports Authority/wherever and
buying cheap, no-name, low-cut "watershoes" for $6/pair. They don't last
that well, don't dry that well, but neither have the things I have 
spent substantially more for.


I do the same, also checking in at drug and food supermarkets in the
"discount" bins as well as outlet stores.  I've had very good luck with
some of the shoes lasting three years of daily use in the summer.

For good paddling shoes and almost everything else paddling related, I
shop eBay, searching "kayak" as a starter.  Sierra Trading Post often
has good deals as well.

My left foot is a size seven and my right a size nine, so shoe shopping
is a bit of a hobby of mine.
