[Paddlewise] bootie call (!)

hi folks,

do the neoprene booties keep your feet dry ? or warm?  or both?  iwould 
think, like a wetsuit, that they would keep them warm, with a thin layer of 
warmed water next to the skin for insulation.  sometimes (various reasons, 
like edging w/o a spraydeck, paddling w/o a spraydeck, or lifting the 
spraydeck to dump the accumulated drips off and missing, and dumping it in 
my lap (what a thrill), i get a bit (maybe a cup) of water in the bottom of 
the boat and inevitably it attacks my feet.  no "proper" kayaking shoes yet.

do you guys like/recommend the chota booties?

thanks

kcd
