Yak Boots/Shoes or Whatever

[fishnut]

Seeking input from you guys what you suggest for wearing for footwear with dry suits and or waders with a dry top. I don't think i want to wear my studded wading boots that I wear with my breathable chesties. Bad idea.

Crocs, one size bigger than usual, have drain holes and do a nice job protecting your dry suit  foots.

I wear my surfing booties over the waders. You may need to get a size bigger than usual to fit well.
 Gotta protect them wader footies.

I wear my studded wading boots in my kayak.  Never had any problems from it.  My feet are either pushing up against the hard plastic steering pedals, or hanging over the side - so no weighted contact with the softer plastic of the hull.

Spot turned me onto these, and I gotta say, I haven't had any problems with dry suit tears.

I've sure got to meet Spot. He's surely a he/she?man of discerning taste. No wonder
he's the Global Moderator. He can bring all types together. Question: Are those spiked heels sharp enough to penetrate my tupperware?

I also think I can operate my ff/gps more easily with my feet with those beauties

Same here. I like mine because they are pretty "grippy" on the polyethylene when standing in my Ultimate 12.  I wear two sizes larger than normal over my waders. Size 11 over thin liner socks when surfing wearing a wetsuit, but size 13 over the 3.5mm or 4mm (not sure which) neoprene stocking feet of my waders.

Yes, a warm Spot injection is known to do a man good.  It can cure hangovers and break hearts.  I've even heard that it can render sorority girls "sleepy."  But that's likely heresay.

Spot.Where can I get a pair of those beautious streetwalkers? If nothing else,if fishings bad, I can maybe pimp myself out.

crocs, schmocks..those are sooooo 3rd world.. go get a set river sandals at payless for under 30 bucks and you have something to wear both on and off the yak. just go one size larger.

tried my felt soled wading boots when i 1st started.. with frankenstein sized feet, (the boots are 15's) i had trouble keeping my heels locked into the footwells. thats why i went down to the smaller profile shoe.

all comes down to what you feel works best for you, tho. don't forget to check out our sponsor, outdoorplay, for their foot gear specials.

I've been wearing a pair of these. They are great for wet wading as well as on the boat.

I started out with waders that had thick neoprene booties attached and put some black crocs over them. Once I got my drysuit the booties were non-neoprene so put booties over them. They always left my feet cold since they are in the air on the pedals and the wind put a chill on quick. I've also been recently busting my feet on everything, logs, stumps, whatever, so wanted some protection. So I've got some thick neoprene booties that go over the drysuit and then some wading boots on top to keep the wind out and more fumble proof. So far so good.
