I would go with the boots. The shoe will let sand in. I wore the korker ultralights with my wetsuit over them no sand no problems. Too bad the boots fell apart after one season.

Ive used both, the shoe is definetly lighter but offers ZERO ankle support, if hes walking any distance over the usual terrain in RI or mass hes going to need some ankle support.

Plus in my findings the shoes are usually beefied up and get worn down faster in the toe and side areas.

The korker shoes, had mess sides which was like rubbing wet paper towels over gravel, great for drainage, not for abrasion.

All there products are junk.

Some of you may be refering to the older ultralights, they sucked I had them too. The soles blew out, they didn't support my feet good to begin with, and the felt cheap. But I believe Cabellas improved that line of boots, The new ones are alot more comfortable, and the soles appear to be re-enforced. Yes there are better boots out there but being a size 15 I'm kinda limited. Either way wearbars are the way

I use a pair of simms headwater boots and they are the best boot i've ever owned.When all studded the cost comes to around 200.No issues yet,just retighten studs now and then.A complete soaking with water from hose and on the boot dryer they go.I'm sure some of you always rinse after use but the boot drier in my oppinion is what really helps make them last a little longer.As far as falling apart,nothing yet and will continue to purchace this product.Over the long run i believe this will be cost effective.Here's a pic of one year old boots.
