Flip flops are great for EVERYTHING other than the times underwater where you might need them to say on your feet, an you run into rocks or that coral that might cause stinging. Of course, for serious hikes you would bring something else. You already know that. I was only talking about water shoes, which is a strange concept to me, since I live on the water and never wear them! That's why I did not want to invest in expensive ones, ergo my Walmart trek.
