I just was out in Tosohatchee and hit water where I didn’t expect it – up on the old railroad berm. I figured I didn’t need the boots or the extra weight so I didn’t have any with me. Needless to say, after trying to jump water a couple of times I had wet, cold feet – ugh! I don’t think there is any “silver bullet” as far as boots go. The Wiggys are really only good for crossing streams, I used them on a wet trail one day and a stick punctured a hole in them. They must go over boots, they have no firm bottom. The Croc idea has merit, so think about that. As far as the Neos, they have saved me at times, but at other times I got into mud and they just pulled off. I did buy some Velcro bands to put around them to keep them on. Like the Wiggys, they go over your hiking boots. I carry a lightweight hiking stool to sit on to put the boots on and take them off (I carry it all the time, so it is not extra weight). So bottom line, is the pain worth the gain?Tom Chomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06424246413083856312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2034624712938024917.post-31829379328802704062016-01-27T18:14:03.885-05:002016-01-27T18:14:03.885-05:00Tom,

We took a hike out at Tosohatchee today and one of our party had the short version of the Neos. I believe this was only the 2nd of 3rd time using them and they leaked. <br /><br /> I just discovered your site so this will take me quite a while to dig through all the good information. <br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />JohnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319080691699709324noreply@blogger.com
