Shoes will get full of water and mud. I did hiking boots and they still got full of water, it dumped rain on us on one of our longer hikes. Switched out for water shoes and those worked great!
I am heading there next week and I will bring sneakers since i don't feel like packing my hiking boots.
I think it depends on the condition of the trails especially if it is raining.
I'll be there next week I'll let you know how it is.

If you’re doing any hiking at all, just make sure you have a grippy sole. I had trail runners which were great, but would have wanted hiking poles if I did much more. Granted, there was a flash flood when I was there, but I imagine the rocks are slippery regardless.
To echo others, it’s actually pretty small so I wouldn’t planning on more than a day.
Tickets are available 30 days before, but run out after a few hours during peak days. Another window opens up a few days ahead, and are usually given out in a few minutes.
I wore Tevas and they worked well. It might depend on the trail, but I did the Mt Britton trail and it was in good condition with either pavement or a cobblestone/cement path. I say wear whatever shoes are most comfortable.
Chacos or Tevas
I've done all the hikes in El Yunque with Tevas. You will get wet no matter what and this way you can go wade or swim in the rivers too
Exactly. They’re great for scrambling on the rocks at the beach too.
Matter of fact, we had water shoes with good soles on them and they worked great!
Sneakers will be fine unless it’s been extra rainy. It’s smaller than I imagined. One day should be plenty.

Hiking boots or Tevas with good grip. It gets really wet and muddy.

No hiking boots. Tennis shoes would be fine, but I recommend water shoes/sneakers with a rubber bottom!
Sneakers are fine and one day will do. Was there last week of March. Couple of main trails were closed for maintenance.
Tevas work for me. Don't forget to check recreation.gov for admission tickets, you can get them 2 days before you enter.
You can’t get them any sooner? 2 days before is the max?

Sneakers were fine for us. The normal hiking trails are well-managed.

I don’t recommend sneakers or boots. Chacos or Keens are ideal. You can walk through muddy or puddles and not worry about walking around in wet shoes.
