Kerry,

I'm curious :question
Do you have the Dealee Bob's too.
From picture on link, I can't tell much difference other than the Bob's have that little tubular crosspiece that the lock secures against.

Does the Chota product come in colors? That's a plus for me with the Bob's, you drop one, you can probably find it easy enough.

I don't have the Dealee Bob's so I'm only going by the pictures.  It seems like the Chota ones are finished a little better that's all.  But Mulelars has seen them both up close so his opinion is the one that counts.  And, like Henry Ford's Model T, you can get the Chota's in any color of the rainbow as long as its black.

Those look like they might work, db.  I also discovered that Kokatat makes these: (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) which also look good.  I'm thinking a good waterprooknee high sock that I can wear under my boot of choice might actually be a better solution (and cheaper) than purchasing a whole new water proof boot or mukluk.

In cold weather/water they may not get so sweaty, especially with wet boots and a breeze.

The thing that looks good about the Kokatat socks is that they are made of some kind of Gortex type material.  They guarentee them to be waterproof but they also breathe.  However they are twice as expensive as the neoprene type socks.  On the other hand they're half as a expensive as full boots.
