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?

Hi Swizz

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 )

Looks like good, high quality stuff! I've seen some split toed ones that look really uncomfortable. I think they were made for a sleestak or something.

WTG!

I've seen those type of boots also, just assumed they were to fit a type of fin setup.
and...
Although sleestacks appear to be reptilian, I don't believe they like water but your theory is still plausible.

i get out to many spots/states and need different suits for warm/cold water. so i like to layer my suits for the water temp. i have a 3 mm full suit and a 7 mm step through shorty.boots/hood/and my own mutilayered gloves(cheapies) this way i can keep warm in most rivers/streams that i goto!id like to make my own wetsuit heater sometime but i dont really need it in most streams i goto!

Swizz,

How did the wetsuit, boots and gloves work out? I am looking for advice on a wetsuit for using in the Arkansas River in the summer. I was looking at Henderson wetsuits today.

Thanks

The Henderson suit was awesome. 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.
