Footwear Sugestions - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I am curious as to what type of shoes everyone uses for kayak fishing. I have been wearing a pair of old Sanuks that are kind of similar to a boat shoe but they have holes in the front, back, and sides to alllow water to drain out. They are meant to be worn around water, but not the best option to get wet on a regular basis as they have stretched out from getting wet and drying repeatedly and no longer fit properly.

I generally take them off to launch if possible, then I will put them back on later in the day when I notice my feet are starting to burn.

I know there are much better options out there so I was wondering what everyone wears when you take your kayak out. Something that I could wear the entire day including the launch and recovery would be ideal.

Can anyone offer a better option for me to look into?

Thanks in advance for any advice you may offer.
