answer 1
I would say somewhere in between. I didn't feel any rocks or shells as I was walking in them on sand, but I also run as well, and running shoes typically have a thicker more absorbant bottom. I did walk on pavement getting to the beach and did feel tiny pebbles underneath the shoe, but on the beach...not at all.

Yes you will feel everything as they are like wearing socks. Great grip but they have little solid sole. They are made for griping the boat deck, which they are designed for. They do this very well.

They are an atheletic type shoe bottom. Great grip on rocks and no feeling of specific pressure points.

Question
Sharp Objects
Would the bottom of the shoe resist sharp rocks? Would you recommend these for someone fishing from the beach? Meaning would like get a lot of sand into the shoes? I also fish from rocks near the beach.

No it wouldn't resist sharp rocks, but I would recommend fhese for someone fishing from a sandy beach. I don't believe you'd get a ton of sand in the shoes either.

The shoes could resist some small rocks, but they are really thin for grip use on the boat deck. i wouldn't walk a lot on small rocky surfaces. But large rocky surfaces, they are really good for grip. Sand is not a problem as they fit close at the top to keep water and sand out..I highly recommend the for what they are designed for, staying stuck to the boat deck.

The bottom of the shoe is very rugged, they would be very good on sharp rocks. They would not be any different than other shoes in sand
