I have used sandals on several tours and they work great. Nothing feels better than air moving through your toes on a hot day. Conversely, nothing feels worse than wearing shoes that barely breathe on a hot day.
A couple years ago my tour had temps that ranged from the low 40s to the upper 80s. When it was cold, I would also wear wool socks and a pair of Skinz. If it started to rain, I would then put on boot covers. If the sandals got wet, they would be dry by the next day and you can't say that about a wet pair of shoes.
