I tried them on and the largest size is just too small.  If they were 
a half size bigger, they'd be perfect.  Bummer, since they were on 
sale at MEC cheaper than the US price!

One thing I didn't like about the high top version (aside from 
scrunching my toes) was that the upper part wasn't smooth and bits of 
the fabric and such dug into the top of my foot.  I don't remember if 
it was a seam or a zipper.  I expected a much smoother insides, like 
my generic reef boots.  I wouldn't be able to wear them barefoot for 
very long.  It could be the sample I tried was defective.

In the back of my mind is a plan to get a Five-Ten resole kit and 
glue that to a heavy neoprene sock.  In fact, I might still do that 
when the latex socks wear out on my drysuit.
