Do you need deck shoes on a cruise?

Waterproof isn't necessary unless you are the type to stay out on deck for long periods in wet weather. Most people wear trainers or other rubber-soled shoes. Personally I like to have a pair of cozy winter boots because I get cold easily and I like to spend hours on deck.
