i like them enough i'm thinking about getting a second pair this year to run without cleats for when i am drift fishing and don't want to scratch the boat up jumping in and out.

related question: i want to use the boots to wet wade in the late spring, what do you guys all use for a neoprene bootie or sock for that?

I use cabelas neoprene socks for it. One pair fits good and tight, abother pair I gotta use a little tape to close up the top to keep gravel out but both work good
