Hey all,

I also have the Kokatat Meridian (no monogram but mine's blue). I 
got mine before neo was an option for the booties so I have the latex.
These are great but keep one thing in mind - you need big outer 
footwear. I also wear a Smartwool sock under the bootie, I then wear 
an XL neo bootie over the latex (hey, the latex has held up for five 
years now). When walking, I have a large pair of Teva's. Feels like 
the latex/sock combo adds about two sizes to footwear. 

I know there are people out there who just keep the latex exposed.
Seems tempting after the hassle of squeezing neoprene over latex,
but I'd rather not tempt the fates.

I had my booties retrofitted on a stock drysuit and they seem pretty 
large. I have size 9(US) feet. Maybe Kokatat has started offering 
sizes now. When I got mine they had regular and large.
