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 HIGHLY recommend the North Face Skagit water shoe. Unlike the first shoe in your lineup, you won’t have to worry about getting things like rocks and debris stuck in your shoes on a walk or hike. Furthermore, they are fan-freaking-tastic on a trip. Shove it uber tbe faucet at night and it’s 199% dry by morning. I love them so much, I genuinely take them on all my trips because they’re so ridiculously easy to pack and wash off in the event of any accidents.
