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?   Kevin, you are a throwback!
