I'm with you. I will NEVER wade in the sea without some sort of soled footwear. Between sea urchins, stonefish, sharp coral (which often carries serious infectious material) there is just too much out there that can ruin a good holiday! I had difficulty getting a photo of just one of these critters alone, and it took me a few minutes to figure out which was the front end. When wreck diving in the Philippines, the decks of most of the ships were shoulder to shoulder (fin to fin?) with them! We'd be swimming along the companionway inside a wreck and under us would be a solid floor of stonefish. It's times like that which make 'buoyancy control' a really critical issue...

I will say right now that I don't agree with this list... But it's the one that I happened to copy when I was rushing to find a question. It mixes too many criteria to be accurate.
