> > My suit has neoprene booties built in --- vs. the latex option --- which 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.
