RE: [Paddlewise] Drysuits---> Chota boots

Robert,

I bought the chota knee highs that don't have a sole.    You wear you teva sandals over them.    They work great and with the buckles strap at the top of the boot they don't leak even when I wade in water higher than the top.   I looked at the one with the sole but thought the sole was too thin and reminded me of other neoprene booties.    I am glad I purchased the knee high socks instead and along with the usage of my sandals I can have good gripping power over rocks and in the water.

I hope that helps.

Kirby

I bought a pair of Chota boots that come up to the knees.  They have soles
but no ankle strap.  Thus, should they fill with water, it's like wearing a
pair of water filled balloons on your feet.  Rather than drill holes to
drain the water, is there a way to secure an ankle strap to the boots to
prevent them from taking on so much water?
