I have a Henderson Gold Core wet suit and would like to start using it for long-arm dredging (not diving). My question is regarding footwear. The legs of the wetsuit end at my ankles. What should I be looking at for waterproof, durable, and comfortable footwear? It seems like there a many "flats style" neoprene boots out there but I have a hard time believing that the zipper on them are all I need to maintain dry feet. What's the best way to keep my feet dry with this setup?

Quick follow-up...
After researching boots + price and shipping comparisons I ordered the Henderson Titanium H2 7mm Boots and Henderson H2 7mm gloves. Looks like good stuff: Henderson H2 (Henderson 7mm hood to toe now  )

I think they were made for a sleestak or something. WTG! -------------------- peto metallum honestus
