Foot Sweat......?

Try wearing a water proof bootie....

or buy a larger pair of dive shoes to go over your waders ...

Food 4 Thought..

I use my boot footed duck hunting waders. They are bone dry, just looks funny wearing camo on the ocean. I'm with chef maybe your feet sweat too much.

My feet are always bone dry! I can't say the same thing about te bottom of my butt. I use the kokatat pants with built in socks. I wear wool socks then I slip onto my kokatat pants and put on some neoprene booties. My seat is aways wet because of the two scuppers holes under it so in turn my seat gets wet and the wetness aborbs into the pants butt seam which in turn gives me a wet butt. Either that or i don't wear the high enough

There are a few solutions to your wet feet problem.

Start off with some good socks so that if by chance moisture gets in or your feet sweat it pulls the moisture away from you feet keeping them warm and dry. Try the SeasonFive socks, waterproof/windproof/breathable. They have them at OEX in Mission Bay. http://www.seasonfive.com/products-p...r-sock-unisex/

Next, upgrade your pants to something that is tried and tested. I have a pair of IR paddling pants and a drytop that work amazing. I don't have the dry pants but if they work as good as their drytops they will solve your problem. Combine these with a pair of booties (so you aren't walking on the dry socks reducing ware). http://www.immersionresearch.com/sto...roduct=6786790

The kokatat dry bibs work extremely good as well.

Or go all out and get an entire dry suit. Pricey but completely dry. I've taken some swims out of my white water kayak in the winter and stayed dry. I like the IR suit but the Kokatat one is good too.

Feel free to email me with any more questions. I have been kayaking (white water, ocean and sit on top) for over 15 years now.

I use the Hodgeman zipper front waders with Mysterioso socks that I got from Mission Bay OEX. And since I peddle a Hobie I wear some gay strap on sandles to protect the wader feet. My feet have always stayed dry and warm and I always have my feet in the water. A good way to disguise the gay sandals is to catch a big ass fish
