Am I the only person that uses rubber boots and a pair of good wool socks? 
Not the greatest for swimming, but certainly warm and dry for launching and
landing.  

Somewhere I heard about a paddler that took the foot/ankle part of a rubber
boot chopped off the top and had drysuit material sewn (waterproof
attachment) to it coming up to his knees to reduce the bulk and still have
dry feet.  with a good shockcord at the top you could keep splashes out of
the top too.

Of course there is the old New England saying, "If your feet are cold, put
on your hat".
