Kokatat stocks three different sizes of latex booties, which I was able to try on before I placed my order. They might have different sizes in other booties as well. I'd rather have them too big than too small. Using 303 on latex booties also makes them easier to slip into neoprene boots.

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?
