NRS Paddle Wetshoe Neoprene Bootie has the widest toe-box of any bootie this height. For most people, this fact alone makes it the best bootie to wear over a dry suit with dry socks because most booties are designed for wearing barefoot. When you are wearing dry socks with liner socks inside, those socks don't make your feet much longer but they do effectively make your feet a lot wider in the toe box area. So most people have trouble finding booties that are wide enough in the toe-box to wear with dry suits. Unless you have narrow feet, the NRS Paddle Wetshoe booties are the no-brainer choice to wear over drysuits with dry socks.

Paddle Wetshoe booties have a sole that's not too bulky for most sea kayaks or creek boats, enough support for portaging, and they make a good choice for most kinds of boating (rafting, canoeing, and kayaking). Paddle Wetshoes are made with 3-mm neoprene upper that is lined with fleece, 5-mm neoprene insole combines with the 3mm high-traction wrapped out-sole to protect your feet from rocks and provide excellent footing when you're ashore. The padded ankle patch eliminates a common pressure point problem. The gusset backed YKK® zipper makes the bootie easy to get in and out of while keeping the cold water from flushing through the zipper.

As with all booties, for use over a drysuit with dry socks men need at least 1/2 size larger bootie than their street shoe size (if your street shoe size is an 11.5, order a 12. If your street shoe size is 12, order a 13). Like all booties, NRS Paddle Wetshoes are only available in unisex whole sizes, so women wearing them over a drysuit with dry socks should order them in the nearest half size smaller than their usual women's street shoe size (i.e. women with street shoe size 8.5 order unisex 8, women with street shoe size women's 9 = 8.5 bootie but you have to round up to the nearest whole size so order unisex 9 bootie for women's 9 street shoe size foot).

Size: 6-14 unisex whole sizes (if you need size 15, we stock it in the NRS Cross-4 Wetshoe, but NRS doesn't make size 15 in the Paddle Shoe)

Color: Black and blue
