Mossback,

I was talking about when wearing the shoes around camp, such as when I go out to hunt for wood.  Sometimes I go deep enough that I need more than my sandals.  Until the shoes "mold" to my feet (as has been asserted), it might be that I need some "filler" to keep them tight.  I guess I won't know until the time comes.  Anyway, I wasn't thinking "warmth" so much except maybe when I would do a spring or fall trip.

ST, I have so many different types of inserts and arch support devices around for my problem feet that I have little doubt I can find something that will work with those neoprene gaiters.  Chances are I would only wear those gaiters in the spring or fall.  I don't care about having "wet feet" in the summer.  Gaiters would just be extra baggage then.
