I get the Lacrosse knee highs. I put some decent athletic shoe inserts inside them, and they're pretty comfortable to walk in.

Thanks guys. I will be using splash pants most nights. It's much nicer in the summer to wear bibs and boots than waders when you can't wade.

I have done this for years, never wore waders, bibs and hippers are very comfortable and I dont do much true wading because I fish around rocks. This past year I switched to the simms G3 Waders because they are so comfortable........

Toby,
ProLine makes a great pair of knee highs with full arch support. Tried them last year after using Red Balls for years on the rocks, feet always hurt after a few hours with kokers, not so with the proline boots. I have some you can look at. Hope this helps!

I wear my knee-highs for a lot of coastal activities, herring run, bait gathering some dingy related adventures, I used them once for scalloping (waders are really needed for this). I have tried several brands, all were OK but the best deal I got was a $15 pair I got off of ebay (delivered) and I have 4 years on them now and they are just starting to show wear.Eventually they crack. They take a lot of abuse though. I wear mine alot!
They are great for a lot of activities, checking the eel/crab traps, shallow water bait collecting, and dock and jetting fishing. I think I can squeeze one more season from the cheapos.

Muck brand knee highs are very comfortable and come in a variety of sole styles. You can get them at Agway stores. I've got some Bean lightweight hippers that are pretty good also, I'd buy 'em again.

I usually drive the beach in muck boots, with waders in the back. If surf's up I drive around in waders.

I stumbled into Redtop 3 years ago and found a pair of Lacrosse waders for $11. Best money ever spent for jetty work, don't think they'd be ideal for hours of walking. great for driving spot to spot - easy on, easy off.
