Stockingfoot wader boots

[Osidecoffee]

I just got my stockingfoot waders in and was wondering, what sort of boots do you wear with your waders and fins? I was gifted a nice set of dive fins, so I think I’ll eventually end up with a pair of neoprene dive boots to wear with my fins. But for now I grabbed a cheap pair of water shoes that should work just fine with the fins.
I know others wear fins made to be used with boots like the force fins or outcast fins, so I was interested in hearing what the other float tubers have preferred for their setup.

Ive used water shoes for years. They work perfectly

I got a pair of diving boots for my new waders. They seem like they will protect the stocking foot. They kept my feet warm and never felt clunky like fly fishing boots.

Get booties with thin neoprene, 3 mm or less. They slide over the waders much easier than thick ones. I use Force Fins for flippers which I like better than anything else I have tried. I have problems with longer fins breaking the surface which I think may spook the fish plus be less efficient. Make sure the booties do not fit too tight or your toes will be miserable after a few hours. Fit may change when you change to a different brand of waders.

I use these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D41GYKM?re ... tle_1&th=1 . I use 2 sizes up from my shoe size. With a different pair of waders, 1 size up might work.

Awesome, thanks everyone! The cheap water shoes worked well enough today, but I probably will end up grabbing a set of those diving boots at some point.

I use some Simm's neoprene wading socks with a gravel guard. The HotSpot fins I'm using fit nicely around them.
