Thread: Stewart Island footwear, what do you use?

What's the best footwear for hunting the dunes and coastal bush and walking the beaches on my happy place, Stewart Island? I've used basketball type ankle boots in the past and they're ok but don't last long, just thought in this day and age maybe there's something better, easy to put on when wet, above the ankle to keep most of the sand out, lightweight, flexible and quiet...what do you guys wear down there?
