are relatively tough and durable, and may provide marginally more thermal
insulation than latex; for me, in boats with limited footroom (VCP Pintail
and CLC North Bay) two pairs of socks and the neoprene booties are all that
fits inside, anyway.  So I appreciate the (hopefully) increased
survivability of the neoprene.

I concur with JM above and prefer the much more durable neoprene booties.  I
ordered my Kokatat dry suit with neoprene booties instead of latex.  It was
not a published option at the time but readily available.  I found that the
size small neoprene bootie fit my size 9 foot perfectly even with a thick
pair of pile socks.  I wear a 2 size larger shoe over the bootie and it
works well.
