For what it's worth, I've had my neoprene booties in my Kokatat for a few years, walking around parking lots and down to put-ins more often than I should have, and see no wear on them at all. My only concern is that they are the large size, and I have to wear three pairs of heavy socks to fill them up and keep them from ker-flop, ker-flopping all over the place (my shoe size is normally 10). And I've got very small cockpits, so they really fill up the foot room with all that volume. (From a quick check, medium would have been a better size for me.) But I'm still concerned about the relative fragility of the neoprene, and would opt for Gore-Tex, as well, if I had the need to change the booties.
