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? -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

I think that 7mm was probably a little thick, could've gotten by with 5mm and it would have been much easier to put on and take off. The boots were excellent also. Gloves... they wear out fast no matter which brand. I sold the suit when I sold my dredge about 6 years ago. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!
