I take at least a size 14 and my local shop only carries Simms, they brought me in some simms zipit bootie II, but, just a tad too small. What other manufacturers carry a similar product or flats boots? If I cant find my size, what other options would work for walking the flats? Thanks Dean
Patagonia makes a 14 but they are like 150 bucks, just buy a good pair of neoprene socks and wear your regular boots(if they are not felt)? or if you are only going for a week just a pair of old tennis shoes?
If you can't find something at your fly shop, try dive booties. http://www.amazon.com/NeoSport-Wets...8&qid=1358831258&sr=8-4&keywords=dive booties
For the salt, I usually just go to the Big 5 Sports or any other type of big box sports store with my neoprene socks and try on their cheap $20-$50 'hiking' boots. If they fall apart after a few years, well, no tears. I've had the same ones for three years now and I paid $20 for them. I ended up buying two pairs because I expected them to be POS and to fall apart, but I'm still on the first pair three years later...
well, I think I found a solution, not really fashionable for the beach in the tropics, but, these boots look bulletproof and will be great for summer fishing as well: http://www.nrsweb.com/shop/product.asp?pfid=2338 After rolling a few ankles the past few years playing basketball, these will probably help with the stability as well.
I just bought some 7 mm Bare boots for over my wader socks. They are great and in a lighter weight might be perfect for the flats! http://www.leisurepro.com/Catalog.a...ge=1&gclid=CNv8saG-nbUCFSmCQgodYEUAAA&lpcPath=
