Default Wet wading: sandal question

Has anyone had any good or bad experiences with either of the following
wading sandals? I like the way the toes are completely covered on the Simms
brand, however like the way you can switch the sole on the Korkers and wear
them as a daily pair of sandals.
Any others that you would suggest?

Simms Keen river:

What do you wear (on your feet) while wet wading in the summer?

TIA,

I have a pair of Keen sandals almost just like the Simms, except that
mine aren't adjustable and they don't have felt, but they are the same
footbed. They are the most comfortable shoes I own. I've worn them on a
jetty, and while not ideal, they were much more comfortable than wading
socks and my wading boots. They're nice for canoeing. I take a pair
when I'm going somewhere but not necessarily fishing, along with a
travel rod and a small chest pack, just in case.

Still, I'd rather use my wading boots and wading socks if I'm most
certainly going fishing. More support, though not as comfy.
