The only time i ever had any issues with the weight was when i trekked 3+miles into a spot. the walk was all sand, until the end where it became cobbles and where i wanted to fish was on boulders in the surf. I wore them in and while fishing, but removed them and strapped them to my belt for the walk back. i was very happy did. when i first removed them it felt like i was taking off some ankle weights and after 8 hrs of walking/fishing it was nice to have the relief. I felt like a new man.
I always put them on at the vehicle though before i go out. i experimented carrying them and then putting them on before i fished, but don't like putting them on once on the beach. its much easier at the truck.
i agree that once you start wearing them you won't notice that they are even on after a while.
I went the el cheapo route with ice cleats (rubber pull on straps with small metal grips on the toes) these worked fine ($7/pair) from light rocks, but i was going through several pairs a year so finally bought the korkers (hodgemans gladiator soles, actually, a little less expensive) and have been very happy with them
