Give the Simms Ocean Tek boots a look too. I just received a pair to demo from Simms and have been happy so far. They are supposed to be "better" in saltwater environments. I did have an issue with the Wearbars staying in the soles though. They stay fine in the heel but the ones on the outside under my toes popped out. Did a mix of Wearbars and sheetmetal screws. Spikes aside, after 4 trips in the salt (I know, still VERY early) they have been very comfortable. My first night in them was out at M, second trip was a 2+ mile back and forth walk to a spot.
