10.5 and 10 in black salmon woman's if you have a smaller guys foot this might work for you scroll down the page, the shipping was free to my surprise when i checked out.
a extra large ragg nap sock over a pair of crocs not only keeps the croc on your foot, but acts like a felt wading boot so you don't slip and slide on the mossy rocks below.
If you hike in sneakers just cross in those, they'll dry.

Whatever you take make sure it stays strapped to your foot. First time I hiked in Maine I brought regular shower shoes and the current sucked it right off my foot and there was no retrieving it.
Pain is a by-product of a good time.
IMO, the inexpensive water shoes are better in the Summer on the AT than the fake crocs due to having few problems when swimming & bridge jumping.

Flipflops and socks, all day
I'm on the Crocs side.
I don't like something that only serves one purpose, so my camp shoes need to double as my shower shoes/time off kicks. Camp can get pretty rocky/muddy, so I'd prefer not to take sandals for that, and I've seen some grungy showers in my days, so the Crocs win out for me.
Whatever you choose be careful not to become too comfortable in them. I was advised by a season hiker last year in Hot Springs that your feet become one with your hiking shoe (whichever type you use) so don't go on long walks to the water source or around town in your Crocs or flip flops as your feet (as mine did) will let you know about it. Only short (very short) distances in your camp shoes!
