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.
