Where can we get neoprene booties with a sole for under swim fins?

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

We need to get some neoprene booties to go over neoprene stocking foot wader booties and under Force fins for a pontoon boat?

Any ideas who sells these booties?

I use Glacier Glove brand booties with Velcro closures, which are no longer available. Adamsbuilt, Caddis and Hodgeman all have neoprene booties with a zipper closure specifically branded for fishing. I prefer the Velcro closure over the zippers due to the ease of taking off and putting on. You may check with skin diving shops to see what they may offer.

Sailing dingy booties might work.

Bill,

I assume these are for Dan's quest for a pontoon bootie.......

I found some flats booties that have worked quite well for me.
I have used them @ Pyramid, in my float tube, and for shore fishing the local and not so local ponds and lakes.

Here's the link:https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/foreverlast-mens-flats-wading-boots?gmc_feed=t&campid=71700000060361508&adgroupid=58700005482514787&device=c&keyword=92700057665728913&Channel=pla&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgu3_16HR8AIVFA_nCh3Q-A7tEAkYBSABEgLH6PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#repChildCatid=14446&ogmap=SEM|PLN|GOOG|SHOP|c|OUT||NonBrand-Shopping-OOM-Outdoor|Outdoor-Fishing||71700000060361508|58700005482514787

My preference is for the Generation 1 style (in the provided link) as they don't have drain holes which can and will suck up grit and sand leading to premature wear on the wader feet.
A good practice is to hose 'em out good after every adventure.
And...........the soles are quite beefy for walking to and from where you'd launch.
Also, and probably the most important "feature" for Dan is the fact that they're available up to size 15 !!!!!! :cool::cool:
My shoe size is 12 and I purchased the size 15 as I wear two pairs of heavy thermal socks in the late winter/early spring.

Maybe these aren't what Dan's looking for, but they have served me well. ;);)

Dang float tubing booties...............................

The best bootie ever made were the Glacer Glove, which are no longer available. Booties made for scuba do not work well as they are not made to have waders fit inside. I currently use Adams Build Knott Creek booties over my waters while I am kayaking. They work, but are not perfect. I am not a fan of the zipper. They are the only thing I can find now though.

These are working well for me. A decent value.

Here is an email I got from a good friend......

"Hi Bill,

You might want to try NSR. They have:

a) Booties that you could pull over stockingfoot waders:

I think REI carries these.


b) If you want something with a hard sole, then one of these might work:

Water Shoes

Water Shoes

Shop NRS for Men, Footwear, Water Shoes. Clothing for Men built to enhance your outdoor kayaking, rafting or SUP...



or as someone mentioned on the Forum

c) Go to a SCUBA dive shop and buy wetsuit booties."

[ARichcrook]

I second the Neo Sports. Been using them for a while now. I also sent Dan a screenshot of an on line seller.

[pgw]

Probably any Dive shop...I'm, still using ones I got at a dive shop in San Jose in 1978...booties with soles.

[Woodman]

I got these on Amazon. They work great. Best thing is they came as big as size 16.
