What suggestions do folks have for a comfortable shoe to pedal Mirage drive wearing a dry suit?

Sandals, neoprene booties, Korkers, barefoot,... they all work for me.  I you plan to fish the winter and are buying neoprene booties, buy about 3 sizes larger than you expect.  You can get thick wool socks inside and the lack of constriction keeps your feet warm.

Most commonly I will wear neoprene booties.

2nd what Craig said.  NRS Neoprene booties with neoprene feet in the dry suit with smart wool socks (and sometime a warm feet patch) will keep you feet very comfortable in the winter.  Spring/summer it is keen sandals.

Learned the hard way about going up two-three sizes on the NRS booties.
In warm weather I often wear Crocs.

I wear my neoprene booties all the time. Even on nice summer evenings like last night. They are comfortable to walk in in the parking lot and on the water. I find them to be comfortable even if they are a big. (Mine are two sizes larger)
