The shoes are never a problem, its the matching handbag that keeps getting tangled in the lines.
Seriously though , Ive worn booties and crap from back in the day when I modified diving booties to stay on in the surf for coral reefs. (cause there was nothing availalable to buy).When i got my first pair of
split toe surfing boots it made a huge difference to the amount of control due to less slip on the sole (not your soul) . If you are going to ride a surf board go for some of these. I used them "south of Broome" on my windsurfer for years and there is quite a bit of out of the footstraps time required and the grip was always great and the protection from sharp stuff was welcome.
