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.

Another vote for the Cabela's contour ankle hippers. They are a little harder to get on and off, but they walk really nice, sorta like wearin' sneakers

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.

I have recently switched from hippers to knee highs on the low tide weeks at the canal. I got a pair of LLBeans with a knobby sole.
On high tied weeks , you are on the rocks and i believe sneakers work well. On the low tied weeks, we can get into gravel or mud fast if we have boots that allow you to stand in a foot of water. Gravel and mud are way easier on the legs than rocks so you really need some kind of boots every other week.
Anyway , my vote if no wading is knee highs for getting around more comfortably. My next choice would be the breatheable hippers. they look almost nylon or goretex stuff above a standard rubber boot. the upper nylon part ties to yur leg with a shoie lace. anyway , they look like they would be very comfortable for walking.
