What type of water shoes for cave tubing and hiking?

[lives to cruise]

I have never owned a pair but I read in a post here that water shoes are the best thing to wear when tubing in Belize.

 

I am a little concerned because I read that we will be hiking to the caves and I am not sure water shoes can handle a hike.

 

Can someone please let me know if water shoes will hold up and also maby make suggestions on what brand or type.

 

TIA

I wore Teva sandals and had no problems with them.

i just wore an old pair of gym shoes. the walk was kinda long and i wanted to be comfortable during that.

Teva sandals worked fine for me too. My husband used another brand of the walking/water sandals with no problems. Others seemed to get along fine with old tennies or the enclosed type water shoes. It's not a real long or strenuous hike. I just wouldn't wear anything too loose, like flip-flops or Crocs or anything too flimsy.

I wore water shoes, they were fine. People who had the cheapy water shoes gave them to the tour operators after the trip so they could use/loan them to anyone who needed them. They were very glad to have them.

I wore my Crocs. They were easy to walk in and I just put the straps on while tubing. No problems.

I also wore Crocs. MaryJane style held on great. DH thought the rocks under his feet to be a bit uncomfortable with his water shoes. Walking on the rocks with my Crocs was like a foot massage.
