Agreed.  Cinching them down would make a BIG difference.  The guy my brother & I pulled out of the icy water in Sturgeon Narrows back in May of 1996 actually had on above-the-knee high Lacrosse rubber boots.  Believe me, they had water in them!  My brother & I are both pretty big guys and it was all we could do to haul that guy 30-40 meters to shore.  It didn't help much that the Narrows were a raging torrent after the spring flood, either.

Anyway, your point about cinching them down is a very good one.
