>> After you get your feet into a pair of polypro socks, then into your latex booties, what do you put your feet into to keep it protected and warm? The booties are a little loose, not skin tight to my feet, so my feet don't fit into any of my standard paddling footwear anymore!! I've seen people wear teva-type sandals over their booties, but I want a bit more warmth. >> Jody, didn't you look at my feet New Year's Day? I wear Neoprene boots over my latex booties. For a good fit, try on the boots while wearing the socks and latex booties before buying. Either take your dry suit to the store with you, or make sure you can return the boots if they don't fit when you try them on at home. Tevas are a bad idea because they help sand to abrade the latex. I have rough spots on my latex booties from wearing Tevas with them only once (I forgot my Neoprene boots that evening). BTW, frequent applications of 303 to your latex booties, both inside and out, makes it easier to slip your feet inside them and to pull the Neoprene boots over them.
