| - | Regards feet: I've had best luck with NRS booties with mens dress socks inside. For some reason direct skin-to-neoprene doesn't work for my feet. That thin layer of material makes a big difference. | + | Regards feet: I've had best luck with NRS booties with mens dress socks inside.

| - | When I've gone big with thicker socks, even woolies, it goes the wrong way and my feet get cold. When I've tried the water-barrier socks of various kinds, it's the same: freezing feetsies. Like my feet sweat when they cool off - so dry doesn't matter. | + | When I've gone big with thicker socks, even woolies, it goes the wrong way and my feet get cold.

| - | Of course dry-suit footies work great with thin socks also (best thing ever). But I can't handle dry suit unless it's blowing, very cold and big conditions where there's a lot of spray. | + | Of course dry-suit footies work great with thin socks also (best thing ever).

| - | Forgot something important: I love the high boots, but they are bad trouble if you dump. I have a pair for dead flat and bitter cold. But I don't dare wear them if there's any chance of waves. word to the wise. | + | Forgot something important: I love the high boots, but they are bad trouble if you dump.

| - | For feet check out the newest generation of NRS booties. I have these and really like them. They have a much bigger toe box than previous generations and are fuzzy inside. There much warmer than my previous NRS booties that pinched my toes. There also thin and flexible enough to work the peddles easily. | + | For feet check out the newest generation of NRS booties.

| I agree with Bill on the feet thing. I have the new NRS Paddle Wetshoe. Boxed out toe keeps the blood flowing. Fleece lined adds a layer of warmth and makes them easier to slip on and off. I went with zippered side for better dryout between sessions and easier to slide in drysuit booties and/or a sock layers. | I agree with Bill on the feet thing. I have the new NRS Paddle Wetshoe.

| - | I agree with you about the fuzzy NRS boots...unless you paddle a Fenn. The big toe box foot doesn't allow for comfortable steering. I had to ditch them for the Patagonia round toe. | + | I agree with you about the fuzzy NRS boots…unless you paddle a Fenn. The big toe box foot doesn't allow for comfortable steering.

| Thanks for all the info. I paddle a Swordfish or a Fenn Elite SL, so I guess I have to go to the Patagoinia booties. My feet are size 11 -12. | Thanks for all the info. I paddle a Swordfish or a Fenn Elite SL, so I guess I have to go to the Patagoinia booties. My feet are size 11 -12. | ||
