good water shoes, bad backpacking shoes. Wouldn't wear them in the mountains.

I hiked with someone who wore them often - he said they didn't provide nearly the protection for the bottoms of his feet and reverted to trail runners. Get a sharp object between the toes and you'll be in pain. It's just mesh in there.
