[Philmont] Footwear question

Just back from Philmont (623-M1). A lot of the rangers were were wearing
sandals with socks in base camp to make them count as closed toed shoes.
The same in camp on the trail, just have to stay out of the cooking area.

I know Philmont's stand on sandals, but how do they view then new breed of
closed toe sandals....

I have minor feet issues; Tailor's Bunion, not bad but after walking with
30+ lbs of weight for 6-8 hours the sides of my feet get swollen due to the
constant rubbing. These new cross breed shoes do not cause your feet to
sweat anywhere near as much as even trail shoes, but are listed as sandals.
 
any thoughts?

Jim
