Anyone have recommendation for water hunting shoes? Warm water, with the occasional sharp object in the scoop/sand.
Thanks

Will check them out. I have soft scuba boots that I wear socks and a plastic bag over my foot. Easy to get on and off. But this season I plan on spending most if not all my time in the waterThe Fin Boot by SoftScience. Best I have found in 35 years of water detecting.
Second choice is the DeepSee Scuba boots- many styles low cut or high top zip-up.
Hints: Wear a pair of medium weight sock while water detecting in the boots, this will keep any sand that gets into the boots will not irritate the foot.
Another: Wear an elbow protector (similar to CurAd) that I stretch over the area that the neoprene boot meets the calf skin. This also will keep sand out of the boots. This will not help with the SoftScience boot as they are made so the water flows freely throughout the boot, unlike the neoprene boots.
Here are the new & improved ones designed for metal detecting!Goodwill tennis shoes. The old style canvas Converse type shoes work best for me.
I tried the diving booties and they would hurt my feet - plus after a while sand would get in under the material inside and create a bulge along my foot's arch. They're not for me. Crocs are still what I prefer.
I wear a hard sole scuba boot. Works for me.
