Metal Detecting at the Beach Footware?

[Coins4Cheese]

Hey everyone. I was wondering, what type shoes/boots should I wear when I MD at the beach? My NewBalance shoes don't work, because sand always gets into them. What type of brand boots/shoes should I get instead? Right now, I wear flip-flops, but since the weather is getting colder, my feet are going to fall off if I keep it up

I have several types, I have a pair of crocs great for the summer, a pair of water mocs (holes in bottom and sides that lets the water out and some of the sand), and a pair of dive boots. In the winter that is what I wear in the water along with my farmer john wet suit....

i just wear sneakers....keeps my feet off the hot sand. when I get a water detector I'll just wear water shoes, little rubber soled shoes with stretchy mesh tops

Been wearing dive boots for years. Have also used fishing wader boots that you wear with stocking foot waders. Sometimes I also wear Crocs. The wader shoes have brass nails in the toes so sometimes the detector gives a small chirp and I need to remember it is the boots.

I found some bootie looking things at Wal-mart. They are made of a material much like a dive suit with a zipper side and a thick rubber sole. The beaches I hunt are on area lakes and always have some broken glass or jagged metal such as can lids. I'm sure I prevented several bad cut to my feet as I discovered cuts in the rubber soles that didn't come all the way through. Monty
