Warm booties?

[ATS_Aaron]

I picked up a NPX Assasin 5/4/3 wetsuit recently. I love it. It keeps me warm. The biggest issue now is my poor poor feet. My slippery booties are pathetic. They are pretty thin so they don't keep my feet warm, plus the zipper on the top is BRUTAL on the tops of my feet when I am in the footholds.

I am thinking of getting a pair of these:

5mm sounds warm, plus no zipper on the top. Has anyone used these? Good? Bad?

Thanks,

Aaron

Perfect. I used 5mm boots all last winter, amazing. I picked up some 6.5's this year, only because they didn't have 5's though, I lost mine. You'll be AMAZED at how warm you'll stay. Where are you getting those? How much? And let me know how thin they are. The 5's I had were nice and thin, almost as thin as my wrestling shoes. These I have now have too thick of a sole. Like a real boot.

I"ve looked around for these without any luck. Do you have any pics of yours so I know exactly what I"m looking for?

I had a question about this, as I'm thinking about doing the same thing...

Does this keep the sand out of your shoes?
Sand in my shoes makes me crazy. I was wondering if this set up prevents that.

Silly question, I know. But I like comfy feet!

It does a fairly good job.

Cool, thanks.
