Wet wading question

[bobbyg]

I got a pair of these last year and never looked back:



Mine are the KSOs, which differ from those pictured only by being lighter and thinner material in the upper (nylon instead of neoprene).

I would look back to see if anyone was tracking Bigfoot!! Just me!
Seriously, I couldn't see myself walking down the trail wearing those things!
More power to you!

If I got a pair...

I'd want them with 6 toes on one foot and 7 on the other; figuring that would scare any interlopers away and keep them from following my trail to the crick.

Those things look awful!? I saw a guy wearing those around town and he made his friend wearing flip-flops with socks look normal.

Oh ya, this questing was brought up before a few times, check previous threads.

Say what you will, they're awesome. They provide excellent tactile feedback, and all the benefits of walking barefoot without the risk of slicing yourself open on a piece of glass or metal. They've also improved my stride and helped develop my calves, and ankle muscles that conventional shoes simply don't.

As far as the looks, while that's obviously completely subjective, i've gotten many compliments, and I'm confident enough to wear them in public without feeling the least bit self-conscious. I like them, and thats enough for me. If someone else has a problem because they don't look like what they feel shoes should look like, well, too bad.

Here's the model I have (with the nylon mesh upper):

Next time you dump a pair of worn out waders, cut off the neoprene booties and save them for wet wading. Then wear your regular wading boots with the booties underneath.

I gotta get me some of those.

I do like those, where did you get them?
