As for the "shoes will dry out quickly" line - not if you're walking in them on a damp showery day, or when the grass and scrub are wet from a heavy dew and it''s overcast. Your feet are wet after two steps and they stay wet all day long, while decent boots and gaiters would have kept them dry.
To the OP: the footwear isn't for you. Don't try to push a particular philosophical line to someone else. Tell them the basic pros and cons plainly and let them make the decision.
