Since I am still on the learning curve I will take you all along with me.
For the past year I've been wearing old tennis shoes with socks and wading through creeks up to my knees at some points. If you do this for several hours/miles your feet will soon take the beating mine have. They will be all pruny and you will have rocks and mud and who knows what else in the bottom of your shoes that rub against your feet while you're walking. In the wintertime I bought these fancy knee high rubber boots. They work well as long as you stay in water that won't go over the top of them. If you do this, then you are going to have a boot full of water that's suctioned to the bottom of your foot that is a struggle getting off.
Until recently, I was not an "outdoorsmen" type of person, so I had no idea that there were better options that what I have currently. I need something that is light and also protected more than a sandal. These are the best combo of socks/shoes I have came across. A waterproof sock (I had no idea these existed) and a drainable lightweight hiking shoe. I haven't tried these out yet but when I do I will let you all know.
some kind of shoes like these that drain well..
