I've been using Bare Trek boots with my Pinnacle Black Ice neoprene drysuit that has attached neoprene socks, and finding them a pain to deal with. Because of the thicker neo attached socks, it's hard getting them in to the boot because the boot isn't quite wide enough to get them in easily. It requires a bit too much effort/time. I can't really go any larger in size, as the length is already a little on the large side.

Any suggestions for a wider overboot? And for those using a Black Ice, what are you using?
 
I'm having the same issue, I just dropped my suit off to get neoprene socks instead
 
I have no issues, I use wet suit boots 2 sizes larger than what I normally wear.
 
I am using Pinnacle Boots with my Black Ice . I bought a size larger even though they say to buy the same size as your regular boot . They are a little long but the extra width helps donning for sure .
When the time comes I will replace the neoprene socks with proprer drysuit boots .
I am not really a fan of the neoprene sock , I see no advantage over a rubber drysuit boot , just more gear to pack .
