I have. And, I would implicate Kokatat, at least in part, for that, because the Goretex booties come way oversize. I have not walked around much on dry land in the drysuit, but if I did, I am certain I would get blisters. If I were to order a drysuit from Kokatat again, I'd be adamant about the size of the booties. Sized correctly, I think they would be OK. Dinosaur feet?
