Oh, another thing: $20 water shoes last only slightly less long than $100+ speciality 'barefoot' running shoes. :)

Not really true. I used to go through Walmart's $20 a pair a month walking. $60-$160 shoes I usually do 400 km running on them.

90+kg here.

They might last as long, but do they work the same? I have $5 socks that outlast my shoes, but socks aren't exactly a replacement for shoes, right? Water shoes and barefoot running shoes seem like two different types of foot covering.

They work the same. The entirely flexible sole is the key.
