You could wear old shoes, or those water shoes that a lot of newbies wear at the gym, or none at all. Unless you're really trying to send hard, in which case you may want to consider lowering your goals to making the biggest splash.

I have been using old shoes but they are falling apart fast. I really see a market for this.

Maybee a Teva river shoe would work: http://www.teva.com/productslist.aspx?c ... ens&page=1
5.10 apparently made a "canyoneering" shoe w/Stealth but I couldn't find it on their website.
