what kind of footwear

The type of bottom you're digging in should dictate what style you wear.
Small stones have a way of getting into low boots and will destroy the stocking feet waders and wet suits.
High top neoprene diver's boots are the way to go in this case. (Mine almost come up to my knee!)

These are good for just about all conditions, had them almost 3 seasons now...........NRS ATB Feltbottom boots, the best for if you want to do some Kick'en, great in ruff surf, rocky bottoms.
Sand Scoop

ankle to chest deep. Usually there's good size waves breaking and stirring up sand I have a pair of 8" neoprene dive boots.There zippered and have a good snug fit to keep the small shells and sand out. Also have a hard bottom.With the soft bottom the scoop will tear them up. I think I paid around $75.00 for the ones I have and there still doin good after 5 years.

I personally use the NRS cross 4 wetshoe which keep the sand and grit out while keeping the feet warm and safe while digging in the surf.
I like the side zipper and the fact they make a size 15 which fits me perfect. I get about 2 yrs out of a pair and since they are made out of neoprene, same stuff as a wet suite all you need to do is rinse real well in fresh water after a hunt and they will be good to go. The price is right so I keep 2 pair and swap them out each day to make sure I have a dry pair each day. The NRS-Cross-4-Wetshoes are not water proof so while wading your feet do get wet, but do stay warm.
