There is another option if you don’t want to rent gear, or carry around the big water boots the rental company gives you:

You can buy amphibian shoes that can double to hike the narrows and other hikes.  You do NOT want water-proof hiking boots, because they will fill up with water.  You want shows that will drain. And you don’t want to buy the same water boots that you can rent, because they are expensive and you’ll likely never use them again.  

💥Amphibian shoes for men: something like https://amzn.to/3cTMMA3
💥Amphibian shoes for women: something like https://amzn.to/3cVQusJ
💥Socks: https://amzn.to/2GzDI7n

After the hike, do the Riverwalk back to the shuttle in your neoprene socks and amphibian shoes to let them dry out a bit (or maybe walk in your shoes without any socks).  Then you can take off your neoprene socks, put them in your backpack, and put on your dry socks.  Hopefully by then, your amphibian shoes have dried out enough and you’ll have a nice day of hiking ahead of you with very little to carry in your pack! (You might want to pack two pairs of dry socks in case the first pair gets too wet from the shoes).
