I returned my hiking bootfoot waders and used the money to purchase the Cabela's Guide Tech Bootfoot model. I haven't used them yet but am very impressed. The boots are actually wading boots attached to the waders. I was a little skeptical when ordering them because I thought that the boots would collect a lot of sand like stockingfoot waders but was pleasantly surprised. There shouldn't be any problem with sand. Also the boot gives more support than the Orvis hiking boots. You should take a look at them. I'll be trying them out this weekend.
