Question Drysuit socks + rockboots vs integrated boots

[InWay2Deep]

I use Rock Boots and Chucks depending on my mood that day.

Spend $30-$40 on some bigger wetsuit boots instead of $100+ on some rock boots unless you plan on keeping the socks.

Very large wetsuit boots with thin wool socks underneath (you end up with a ton of neoprene on your feet).
The rockboots or various types of sneakers (keds etc) are slightly better in rocky terrain but either work

wetsuit boots is what i used when i was stuck with a suit like this. looks the least stupid but I would have them fix it so you aren't stuck with this forever

My personal experience: I hated rock boots. The laces kept getting undone half way through my dives which was a potential hazard and make me look like a buffoon.

I had a chat with a friend who is a cave instructor in Mexico and she told me all the staff in the dive center I used down there wore regular neoprene booties.

I ordered 2 sizes up to ensure I could fit the suits neoprene socks and made sure their cut was not too high to avoid that it became too tight above my ankles. The ones I got are probably 3 cm above my ankle bone

Problem solved

Before my current trilaminate suit I used to have a drysuit with integrated boots and I find them much worse.
Simply because you cannot reverse the boot part and get rid of all the humidity that accumulates.
With the neoprene boots you can do this very easily in a trilaminate suit

I have integrated boots and strongly dislike them. Far too much air movement causing trim problems.

I have integrated boots and like them, BUT they fit me perfectly with 4thE arctic socks.
