In Response To: Love my Chotas. (Ray)

: I paddle in Maine year round and wear my Chota knee high neoprene boot
: November thru April. I wear Chotas over both my dry suit (rubber gaskets
: at ankle) and wetsuit (when I'm wearing that). I wear low cut paddling
: shoes (sometimes with neoprene socks) the rest of the year. The great
: thing about the Chota boots is that your feet stay dry and toasty warm. If
: you have a full dry suit including feet, you might not need them, but
: otherwise they great. I wouldn't want to do without them.

They sound warm and toasty but what happens if you have to swim ? Are they a problem ?
