Garbhan:

Douchier:
I've used a wide variety of different things on my feet over the years:

I suggest that you just go for a pair of river-shoes.

They're designed to fit well in the boat, shed water well and grip terrain.

I have these I'm perfectly happy with how they perform and they weren't too expensive.

RE socks:

I'm sure that they all do the job they're designed to do perfectly well.
I've had the peak ones and the palm ones, I was happy with both, probably a bit happier with the peak.

With constant use you're probably going to wear holes in them in about 6 months or so regardless.
I'm on pair 6 or 7, but I use them for a lot of different things.

Shoes as opposed to boots might work best as you need to be able to jam your feet into boats and so having a bit of flexibility at your ankles might be good.

Eoghan:
old runners (the more outdoorsy ones) are what I've been using for the last few years and they work a treat...may be a bit cold if you don't have drypants though...

Simon R.:
Nial your not extolling the virtue of a pair of converse?
