+1 for the NRS ATB.  I have yet to get cold feet with them and a thick pair of wool socks.  Just remember to get a bigger size to allow for extra socks.  I wear a size 13 and got the 14 boots (only because they don't make 15s)

  because I really hate having cold feet --- I got the NRS Boundary boots.

  Love em'
Life is short---live it tall.

Be kinder than necessary--- everyone is fighting some kind of battle.

Sailors may be struck down at any time, in calm or in storm, but the sea does not do it for hate or spite.
She has no wrath to vent. Nor does she have a hand in kindness to extend.
She is merely there, immense, powerful, and indifferent

I have the 5mm Neo Sports zip ups from my paddling days, and they're quite comfortable, but when I'm pedaling the Hobie, I wear 7mm Aqua Lung hard-soled dive boots - the strap on the NRS ATB boots interfered with the pedal straps on the Mirage drive.
The fish bite twice a day - just before we get here and right after we leave.

I just use a pair of aqua socks water shoes from Target, one full size larger works perfect over the dry suit socks with wool socks under.

For wearing over couple of layers of socks + dry suit socks - buy shoes +2 or +3 size to your casual shoes size. I wear usual shoes size 10 and bought neoprene shoes size 12 and they fit tight, I guess should have buy 13...
