Yak Boots/Shoes or Whatever

I use thicker neoprene booties too.  Mine are NRS Cross 4's.

I use the cross 4's as well.  Seamed to be a little crammed at first but you stretch into them after a short time.  They work great!

I've been doing the Croc's and Speedo water sandals (ala Costco) for the past two years and they work fine for the most part.  One thing to consider when using them is sand and pebbles do get in them, causing extra wear and discomfort. 

I'm looking at getting the NRS Boundary Shoe.

Crocs and speedo?  Was this you at the Liquor Barn, then?

Sand in a speedo would definitely be uncomfortable.

That's frickin' disgusting. Can you say " su-e, su-e, squel like a pig/". That guy
definetly needs some serious paddling or he'd sink the Kitty Hawk.

Alright a$$clowns... Speedo WATERSHOES.

Cross 4's here as well

cross 4 is a good all round bootie. the zip on the ankle makes it easy on & off, and good flexable rubber sole are decent for walking and aren't as combersome as wading boots can be. They're thick enough that blackberry brambles wont puncture. The neoprene is a good all around thickness, good insulation in cold, not crazy hot when its not.

If you find yourself walking in deep mud, or in surf etc., the keen payette is a little better. It will stay on your foot through just about anything, but that also makes it harder to put on & take off. thinner neoprene also, but a little stiffer sole for rocks & whatnot.

For all you that get cold feet, what exact stackup are you using?

I use wool socks under drysuit feet under 7mm dive booties.  My feet don't get cold.  They do get hot sometimes, but nothing that dangling them in the drink doesn't cure.  I also have 3 mm booties that I size down to as appropriate.  Or I go thinner than wool socks.  Or both.

I've been using Smartwools or socks meant for cowboy boots.  Both tend to breath really well and wick the moisture away from the foot.  I like the cowboy boot socks the best because they tend to stay put and not bunch up around the ankles.

Anybody ever try those navy seal boots that NRS sells? The rep had some at the Alder Creek demo day and they looked pretty cool.

Sorry, PolePole. Forgot it's rated family friendly. Please forgive my lack of discretion.
