Should I wear water shoes at the beach?

Similar to how sticking a single foot out of the sheets can help cool you off in bed, keeping water shoes on your feet can help keep your feet warm and take a bit of the bite out of a cold swim. Similarly, if the beach is too hot, water shoes have great breathability and can help keep feet cool.
