[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks all! Will add all these things to our list. We are staying on Kauai and Maui, both at Hyatts. I'm surprised so many are saying we don't need water shoes as that was something I saw mentioned in many blogs/reviews I read. We don't have Keens but the teens do have crocs. They don't like to wear them into the water though.[/quote]

What would you use water shoes for?

For hikes, I wear sneakers. For going in the ocean, I go barefoot obviously. If you have them, by all means bring them, but no need to buy something you may not even use. My 2 cents. [/quote]

OP here. Many reviews I read said that entering the ocean from the beach can be rocky or sharp. I read this many times so I’m confused why so many are saying this isn’t an issue. Are the beaches all soft sand when you walk into the water? [/quote]

The beaches have beautiful soft sand. And you can snorkel right off the shore line, or even do a snorkeling boat trip. You’ll be wearing fins.

I suppose for hiking on rocky outcroppings you can wear water shoes. Again, it’s your preference. Most people don’t, and I wouldn’t want to hike on slippery rocks personally. [/quote]
