Foot wear question

[Surfview]

Want to start hunting a little more in the water. Florida beaches on the Atlantic. My question for all you beach waders what is the best type of shoe to wear? Barefooted, my tender feet can't push the digger. I am thinking just an old pair of running shoes.

Any advice as to what works best in the sand and shells? Thanks

i use Mares dive boots, i forget how thick they are (i think 3 or 5 mm) but they work real nice and fit snug around the ankle ta keep the sand out, think i paid under 30 bucks for them

Not quite footwear but as far as dive masks go, don't use the clear type. Buy/use black or dark blue. If you are hunting in waist deep water and bend over to "look see", it is easier to spot the dark colored ones after the breaking wave takes it off your face! Yea, personal experience! TTC

Heck, I've found footwear as low as $10 a few years ago and still have them, it's not like buying expensive electronics
