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?

I just got mine in the mail this week, in preperation for my trip to the
Grear Bear Rainforest in a couple of weeks. I can just "bearly" get them
over my calf muscles, With the wetsuit on, its even harder, but looks more
watertight. The upper leg strap does not seem to stay tight (not a problem
in my case). They are very warm in the house (like duh). Has anyone had
theirs for awhile, and how well do they work, and what of the above
question from Robert?
