Driftless: "What size "normal" shoe do you wear? Wondering if the boots would fit me. Thanks!"
I normally wear a size 12, sometimes but not often a 13. The boots are slightly oversized to accommodate a wading sock. If you aren't wearing a wading sock/neoprene wader they come with an insert plate that goes in the bottom to take up space. They are comfortable and they drain really fast; a few steps out the water and they are empty. I like the fine mesh vents, they let water out but don't let sand or debris in. Very few things in life bother me, but wet feet happens to be one of them. I used these on one trip, then covid hit, then due to other health issues my tripping days came to an end otherwise I would never part with them. They changed my paddling experience that much.
