You have to realize that in N. FL summers, wearing normal shoes would
simply be stupid. The only prob I have with em is that you cannot
easily walk in the water because they come off to easily but are much
better than flip flops.
Last week while at the Nantahala Outdoor Center in NC, I finally
bought some Teva water shoes and I like em cuz they will not easily
come off in the water and protect the side of the foot better than
Crocs. I still wear the Crocs when I need to go outside quickly to
chase down our crazed escape expert Catahoula dog. I suspect the
Crocs will never stink as badly as the teva will eventually unless
washed.

Got a pair of these a couple months ago. I love 'em.

Again, very similar to mine except mine are of more water tolerant
material and are designed to dry in literally minutes after you come out
of the water. None of the material, including inside, absorbs water...
Also, mine have a plastic mesh between the open areas to protect against
pebbles, fish, sticks, and other nasties that can get into a more open
shoe... Seriously, go to a sporting goods store and look into these
hybrid sneaker/boatshoe/sandal type shoes, they provide protection,
comfort, real foot support, they stay on, dry in an instant, and pass as
regular sneakers in any off water situation...
