"i'm looking for information from those of you who have used both chota boots and rubber boots in COLD ocean water. has anyone found a clear advantage/disadvantage w/ one v. other? thanks in advance, ellen" I am using the Chota boots for the last 3 years. I paddle in Quebec (read cold) from early April to early December. I also paddle in the golf of St-Laurence where the water in summer is no more than 4 C (appx 40 F). I wear them with neoprene socks. You can go in water above the top of the boot, but some water will seep in. I am very satisfied with the product. Distinct advantage over rubber boots in comfort and warmth.
