Chota Citico wading boots

[fishnski]

Hi Everyone, I read the product review, but I have one question...should I size up from my street shoes or are the ok for excess bootie material. I have the Cabelas Gold Medal Stout 9-12 bootie size.

thanks for the help

Fish,

I do ... makes for room for the neoprene booties.

Check the Chota website for their recommendation in this regard. You don't want the wading shoe to be too big or your foot will move around in it and not provide the proper support, plus you might get blisters if they're too big from the rubbing. When I bought my Chota boots I took my waders and socks to the fly shop and was "fitted" for my boots. Best move I ever made.

Thanks for all the help. Just to follow up, I spoke with Mark at Chota and he suggests a size up form your street shoes for Abrams and Citico and street shoe size for the STL (they are made a little bigger to accomodate the bootie).
BTW..I ordered a pair of Citico's, I'll let you know as soon as I get them.

Really helpful and nice folks.
