What material is holding the spikes? If it is plastic, I wonder how slippery that would be? The only situation it should matter would be uneven rocks where the bridge of your foot ends up being the contact point. I image the hiking boots would be about the same level of durability, but make sure you consider that so you don't end up spending more by buying those spikes and several pairs of hiking boots when you could have just bought one pair of wading boots.
You may also want to consider mesh sides or poking small holes in the sides. My wading boots have those holes to allow water to drain out. Maybe also to help prevent an air bubble from building in the toes.

The late Jack Gartside apparently wore a pair of cheap loafers as wading boots over top of his waders. I see no reason not to try it out.--Gene

Thought about getting a cheap pair of hiking boots and having at it. I talked with a few people who mentioned slipping being a problem... and came up with the idea to throw these on the bottom. Has anyone tried this? Success stories/ warnings?
