I have used my Chotas for three long kayak trips in Greenland [Aasiaat, Qanaaq and Kulusuk, if anyone cares]. I never put anything on my feet on any trips but the boots. I have the cheapest mukluk style. Hiking on rocks and pebbles was no problem for my very tender feet. I did a lot of climbing and walking, the longest walk was probably about two hours. I intentionally got the boots a little large and wear very heavy fleece socks over sock liners. Warm feet, good cushion. I have a pair of Swellies as well. I bought them fitted to my real shoe size a little better, so I only use them in warmer weather or on trips where I don't expect to do a lot of hiking. I find no difference in performance.
