I've been wearing Tevas since they first came out, when I wore them for canoeing and portaging, and still prefer the earliest styles. My feet are short, unusually wide across the ball, and have high insteps, so adjustable sandals fit me better than most shoes. My wife likes Keens, but I find them too warm and not as comfortable in a kayak, and I can't remove the inevitable sand and pebbles from them as easily as I can from the classic Tevas. Another reason I prefer sandals, especially Tevas, is that my feet can dry out between landings, compared to wet boots. I do wear the latter when I am wearing my dry suit, however, as they protect the dry suit's latex booties.
