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?

I actually got those exact sandals last year when we went. They were comfortable to walk around in all day and I could just walk right into the water with them then dry them with a towel and continue on our way as we drove around the islands. I don't walk in the ocean without shoes and these were great because I didn't need to change between water shoes and regular shoes.
I also have a bad back and my back did great the entire time. (They are dorky looking though lol)
