If I buy it, I'll use it more often then just this trip.
I'd prefer to get something good that will last than something cheap.

i'll go against the conventional recommendation on here and recommend going with the sneaker type shoes over boots. ankle support is overrated IMO and can actually lead to more issues. Restraining ankle (which is meant to be mobile) movement puts alot of strain on your knees (which are meant to be stable) and can lead to major problems. I'd rather a sprained ankle than blown out acl. alot of research is starting to connect the increase in sports related injuries with all the preventative stuff (special shoes, tape, etc.).

Deppending on your experence level with the wetsuite you might want waders but if your confident in swiming go for it, I agree with Clogston about the shoe boots are tough to swim in cause you feet can extend out I have the torrent shoe and love it but sneakers with machine screws will work.

I definitely have the bad knee issue where if I use stiff ankle support boots my knees start screaming in no time. The big issue is that at the moment you need the ankle support feature , its nice to have it but if you suffer hours and days and weaks just for the time you may need the support its a tough decision. I use sneakers where I can. I use boot foot waders as they have some traction improvements and also have some ankle freedom. I use a set of knee high boots too for the canal low tide spots. They have a very nubby sole and do support the ankle some but comfortably. |
