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.

These boots are meant for rugged terrain and outdoor use , for an pool you would like to use a lighter shorter boot and a thinner gauge neoprene

I believe they would stay on but I don't know how much protection they would be. They are similar to a thick balloon. If the rocks are very sharp, you may need something more substantial.

I use them for a toasty swim in 62 degree water very thick. I would guess yes re lobster catching ie enough padding

These are felt bottom boots designed to grip river rocks. They don't work well in mud which I am assuming you will be encountering hunting

Yes IMHO. But, the outer boot has to be big enough to accommodate the thickness of the wader foot. And a protective sock, which should be worn to protect the wader foot from tearing. These waders are worn with a waterproof wader shoe when fishing & walking in water.

That depends on how you hunt, because the material is lightweight. Walking through a marsh would be no problem, but up and down, in and out of a blind would damage them. Also, keep in mind that these are not bootfoot waders.

They are not heavy duty rubber ones. The boot is great, in that it has a nice tread on the bottom, but if you are going to tackle sticks and stones, and grabbing limbs packed with mud, you may want a heavy duty rubber waders. We love our waders for what we use them for...raking the bottom of the lake, securing the pier, etc. Hope this helps

I have not used muckboots, but I believe they are boots that could be used for outside work conditions such as cleaning out a barn, in muddy situations, or deep snow. I believe they are sturdy. The sluggers are like easy to put on waterproof slippers, ideal for running out to the mailbox or to the garden to get some tomatos when conditions are wet. I like mine for that purpose, but not for hiking or outdoor projects.

I would think it would work well. The material is similar to a wet suit or neoprene waders.

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.

I would not try it.... boots and shoes for water/snow protection only. Proper use requires heating boots or shoes first.

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

No.These are for wading into the water and keeping the water out. Neoprene helps keep you warm.On a lobster boat, you should never wear anything that can fill up with water, as the danger of falling overboard is constantly there. Lobstermen wear layers that shed the water that splashes them. Bib pants, and jacket. With knee boots. If you are on a boat that has a lot of water washing across the deck, then you might wear thigh high boots.

Well, probably not. Unless you are trying to look like a mad scientist! There are open air holes on the sides, so you wouldn't be provided with complete protection. You would be safe from most forward splashes though, so it might work. I'd say these are better used for costume.

It sure could, at least while they are damp. The product suggests that you test a spot for that reason. Here is a link to the manufacturer. http://www.kiwicare.com/kiwimcmssite/us/products/outdoor/boot-protector.html

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