I'm going to be getting a Zeagle drysuit in the mail soon and I was wondering what you all do to protect your boots from cuts and tears. 90% of my dives are from the beach and my current booties that I use have the silicone on them to show it. I'd like to avoid this happening with the drysuit.

Thanks
 
Presuming you have the sock style booties, some folks like to wear the canvas sneakers sold by DUI as "Rock Boots" and available elsewhere at a fraction of the price. (check your local military surplus store, I've seen 'em for as little as $9)
Others will just slap a pair of wetsuit booties over, a good compromise. Wetsuit booties are coming in all sorts of different styles & configurarions nowdays, some with soles rivaling those on regular topside boots.
Try an internet search on "water shoes".
 
Sorry I should have been more specific. It is a Zeagle suit with attached boots. They are fairly heavy duty but I still think there is a risk of them getting cut by the sharp rock where I am.
