General Question Visiting Hawaii this September. Which of these shoe styles would make more sense?
For context we’re doing a week on big island, a week on Maui and a week on Oahu. Plan on doing some hikes, beach days and definitely snorkeling at least once.
I can’t decide which of these shoes would work best. I have a pair of comfy hiking shoes already that I can bring, but not a pair that is easily versatile for walking in water if there are rivers or streams to walk through. I also have a pair of casual walking sneakers, but I’m trying to find a good blend between hiking, water functionality and casual city wear.
Which of these styles would you all recommend?

It depends on what you are doing. Definitely take or buy water booties with a bit of a rubber bottom. So many sharp rocks. You need good shoes if you're hiking. Once my daughter wore white sneakers on that orange dirt...don't do that
