Would these boots provide enough protection from sea urchins, stonefish etc.?

The soles should and possibly the uppers if you brush by them. I wear my travel fins over them so my toes are protected. I also give urchins plenty of room

I used them to walk on a beach littered with broken glass / beer bottles (abandoned whaling station), so I would think so.

Yes, these boots would be great in surfing California. I am taking my to another beach at the end of Aug. Well built and good boots

I don't windsurf, but I see no reason why these boots would not work for that. They are like an aqua-sock with a rubber sole. I love mine and use them at the beach and on my boat.

Yes, you need another boots to protect those waders. They are very fragile and not durable at all.

Yes, your boots are well protected. allow Obernauf's to dry and buff with a old towel. I've use this product on Brooks bicycle saddles for years.

Probably (they aren't any thicker than a thick pair of cotton socks), but it will be hard to slide your feet into the boots because they are made of rubber and will be sticky.

It will all depend on how sedentary you are. I wear these when I drift fish for steelhead in a boat for 10 hour+ days. The temps are usually 35F and below. I also wear a polartec beanie, balaclava, 3 other mid-layers, 3 pairs of smartwool socks and Baffin boots. If you will be actively moving about, this is not for you.

These would not provide enough protection for shucking oysters. You needs something more substantial. Take a look at this item on Amazon. CUT RESISTANT GLOVES-100% KEVLAR®, Heavy Weight Textured Blue Latex Coated. Hope this works for you.

Yes, but they are wading shoes. Most of my fishing involves hiking along the streams in SC. Some days up to 1-2 miles. They have good support but tread pattern is not heavily cleated, so it can be slick if there are leaves on wet rocks

My boots run a little long and wide which works well for me. I can wear my waders and an extra thick pair of socks and have plenty of room.

You can wear whatever you want as long as you dont mind them getting wet! I use a cheap pair of boots with my stockingfoot waders

They have gussets and nice flare at the bottom - so if your paddock boots are not taller than average, yes. If they are open top muck boots, maybe not (or at least not comfortably). Lacers or zip paddocks, certainly. I have worn them over my fat insulated lacer hiking/work type boots.

To be honest, I only know they will protect your feet from the rough surface. That is why I bought them. However, I use them with open heel fins. I don't try to swim with them alone.

These boots definitely kept the water out for my purposes ( tide pooling on the rocky Northern California Coast). I had my doubts, but the combo of these boots plus some wool nearly-knee high socks, kept my normally cold feet warm and dry. One thing that I avoided was trying to enter pools of water that were taller than the boots. After adjusting/tightening the boots, I made sure the tallest body of water I entered was approximately the same height as the boots. I didn't have a problem with keeping dry because I kept that in mind. Hope that helps. Good luck in your adventures!

Yeah sure! But be sure to wear some swim savers so you don't lose them when you hit against a rock

No good for that. These gloves are very thick and even underwater they are kind of hard to maneuver. Look into gloves with "thinsulation" I have some from Wilsons Leather and they're great.

The bottom will protect your feet, but I find it really hard to swim in booties. AS long as you are not swimming laps, they should be fine.
