Hey stpetesal I asked a Kiteforum user for review on that Kevlar MEC bootie (more like a sock) and this is what i got:
"This is my 3rd season wearing them. They fit almost like a neoprene sock, although they are cut quite low, so yes they fit well. They are designed for t white water kayaking and their main purpose is to protect your feet which they do quite well. What I like about them is they don't have the rubber sole that most boots have which leaves you with a better feel to the board and that they protect your entire foot not just the sole. We have zebra muscles here that can cut your feet to shreds. They last about a season as eventually the soles wear out.
http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_l...=1190459544451 has the listing for this and a whole host of other boots they carry. If you contact them they would be very helpful. "
now if only this bootie was a split toe! .............someday
