There isn't much of a market for fishing with sandals in Alberta. As mentioned, you really need some ankle support. Probably good to cool the feet off in mountains streams once in a while but not sure about the whole day. Sandals are more suited to warmer climates, flats fishing, etc. They generally have a hard plastic sole to protect your feet from sharp shells, etc. As indicated above, even with the open concept and drain holes, etc., you're always picking pebbles out from under your feet.
