I need something to wear while wet wading. I'm not as concerned about falling as the stream I normally fish is not really slick. I think I like the looks of some of the sandals I've seen. Especially those that have covering over the toes. It seems to me that sandals would be much lighter in weight but I've never owned a pair and was wondering what you guys might think? So, what or which do you prefer? Oh, and by the way, which ever I buy I am on a very tight budget as I am financially embarrassed

Thanks in advance,
