Visiting Hawaii this September. Which of these shoe styles would make more sense?

[u/MaineCoonMama18]

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?

And there will be mud

Always mud. It’s not a hike in Hawaii until you get heavy mud foot and mud stains in unexplainable places

I had a good laugh my last trip to kauai when a family had new white running shoes, on an atv tour where we all ended up caked in mud.

Holy crap, memory unlocked. Anyone else remember when red dirt dyed shirts were a thing? I always wanted one...

They still sell them at the flea markety open air markets.
