Simms has a new one for next year, can't remember the name but it's basically the Rivershed with more aggressive rubber and all of the metal has been shifted into machined plastic for corrosion resistance.

I use Hodgman's wading boots in the sand a lot and have never had an issue. They have a hard rubber sole.

Wading boots on the beach can be very uncomfortable. They will fill up with too much sand. It is best to use rubber boot fit waders. If you don't own a pair, wade without boots in stocking foot waders.

Here is what I was talking about, they are not boots but rubber shoes. Do not wear regular boots on the beach, it will kill your feet, ankles and calves.

Scott,.... Do you lick up much sand in those wading boots??? They look a bit short. Is the fit close in the top of the boot???

I have something similar but it has a zipper up the inside of the boot for putting them on. I find it chafes my ankle.
