do you have to wear water proof wading boots or could you just wear a cheap pair of tennis shows?

You can wear whatever you want as long as you dont mind them getting wet! I use a cheap pair of boots with my stockingfoot waders

waterproof boots would be a waste of money, tennis shoes or cheap pair of wading boots will work fine. Just need something to protest your soles.

I don't wear them with dress shoes, so I can't really say. I wear them with tennis shoes and the inserts stay dry.

Sloggers are also waterproof - the sole is much better, I had a pair of muck boots and the tread wore out in a year so they became very slippery to walk in especially on a slope - Sloggers are 1/2 the price and I find that I like them much better than the muck boot product - Hope this helps you make your decision

The soles are waterproof, however, the rest of the shoe is not. The portion on the top of the foot and the velcro will absorb moisture. That said, I wear these in the water all the time (hiking, canoeing, etc.). You just need to ensure you dry them properly and you won't have any problems.

NOT a waterproof boots,this are for use with neoprine waders ,that is boot that takes water in ,use to submerse and for better traction

No they're not waterproof. Your feet will get wet if it's raining any harder than a light down pour.

They aren't totally waterproof, but your feet are definitely less wet and warmer.

These boots are not watertight as they are meant to be worn with waders which keep your feet dry. In fact, one of their features is that they "drain well".

They keep your feet dry but they are rain boots, so they won't keep them too warm! Still awesome boots though :)

I've never walked in surf with these boots (assuming that you mean with bare legs), but based on experience with similar neoprene water shoes (assuming again that you"d be in water over the boot top), I wouldn't bet that it would keep out anything smaller than a pea. In calm water maybe, but not in surging ocean surf. In my opinion, you'd be safe only if the boot tops were covered by a long legged wet suit.

I'd do a 9. With water shoes you want them tight so sand and other things stay out. And if it was loose you'd end up with a blister on the back of your foot.

To be honest, I only know they will protect your feet from the rough surface. That is why I bought them. However, I use them with open heel fins. I don't try to swim with them alone.

A good pair of boots is all that is needed. In fact, I use LL Bean duck boots. Enjoy and get ready for a great workout. Cheers

They have a gusset, so they are waterproof to the top. Nice boots, size seems to run a bit small if you use the liners which are great in winter.

Sure, but your feet would get very cold. These are rubber rain boots and not lined.

These boots definitely kept the water out for my purposes ( tide pooling on the rocky Northern California Coast). I had my doubts, but the combo of these boots plus some wool nearly-knee high socks, kept my normally cold feet warm and dry. One thing that I avoided was trying to enter pools of water that were taller than the boots. After adjusting/tightening the boots, I made sure the tallest body of water I entered was approximately the same height as the boots. I didn't have a problem with keeping dry because I kept that in mind. Hope that helps. Good luck in your adventures!

Depends on the size of the boot. There is plenty of room for a boot or cast. You can't take it off to at leasr shower.
