Talking about glass and sharp rocks and looking at open toe sandals makes me cringe. The last time I wore sandals while whitewater kayaking, it was a nightmare stepping into the river with rocks getting between my foot and sandal sole... very painful and the reason I will never wear sandals on the river again.
I can only imagine the problems if glass is present.
