I thought if anyone else gets cold feet pretty quick this would be a good product to look into as well....I've worn two and three pairs of socks and after a half hour to hour I end up with cold tootsies...come out, warm up...pain in the butt...I bought, this year a little bigger boots so my toes could move around more and also picked up these new (to me at least) Simms booties with gravel guards that you put on over your wader booties...I wore one pair of socks yesterday, and had these on over my wader ones...kept my feet warm for over two hours on the upper vedder where there was snow and the puddles next to river were solid ice....

They are I believe, around 30 bucks and I really like how they are made and fit...simple to use and if your like me and can't stand it unless you put your feet in...( Better swing on my fly if I'm out a little ) ...then these are something to look into...Nice having the gravel guard on um as well...

So these booties fit OVER your wading boots? don't they get destroyed on the bottom part walking over rocks?

I think he's referring to putting them on overtop of the neoprenes and then stepping into your wading boots.  Y/N ?

Yes, that's what he means. Essentially you end up with two layers of neoprene booties for better insulation, but the drawback is that you need to buy another pair boots at one size bigger than what you would normally need.

I was between sizes, my shoe size is 12 the 12 in boots were pretty tight, the 13's were a little looser, the basically double booties worked perfect...toasty warm feet for a change..

wear them over your socks and inside your boots.  Fold the top over for a gravel guard. 

Anything Simms is going to be top notch.  I have a Guide friend that is approaching 8 years (easily over 120 days a year) in his Simms guide waders, and I have 3 in my G3's and still love them as much as the first day I put them on.
