I use these shoes for kayaking,from the Maine coast to the lakes in the adirondacks. I like that these shoes have a very good sole for climbing in and out of my kayak,on any surface. They are comfortable and do not restrict my foot movement on my rudder pedals at all. I wear them from spring until late fall,great for what it is designed for....I had 1 issue,after 10 uses the stitching began to unravel,I don't know if I got them caught on something or if it was just poorly stitched,NRS promptly replaced them,even shipped express delivery so as I would not miss my upcoming trip,,,,great company to do business with!

It is a coincidence you contacted me about this product, because I was going to contact you. I wore these in the spring and had just begun to wear them this fall, and I noticed they are already wearing out. There are two holes worn in one sole, and the rubber on one side is starting to peel off. Otherwise, I really like there booties, and I'll repair them as necessary, to keep them going, but it seems really soon to be having to do that.

Use the product for surf fishing in 50 to 60 degree water. Feet don't get cold now.
Use them with Hydroskin pants.

Comments about NRS Sasquatch Wetshoe - Closeout:
I am a size 7 and purchased a size 8 as recommended by other reviews that I read prior to purchase. After receiving product I still had to return the NRS Sasquatch Wetshoe as they were way to tight even after ordering a full size bigger. I called product support at NRS and the lady on the line suggested if going up one size was to tight maybe I should go up an addition 2 sizes which I did. I got a size 10 and have used them for Kayaking 3 times and also did plenty of walking.
These shoes are COMFORTABLE!! Strong rubber sole that doesn't slip on rocks and you can't feel the jagged rocks underneath as with some other water shoes like you purchase at Walmart. Glad I purchased 2 pairs so when my first pair wears out I will have a backup since NRS is discontinuing these shoes. I want to also point out that NRS makes returning items EASY. Doesn't cost you a cent and all you do is slap the return label provided with your original purchase- no postage required - back on the original box they sent you the product in. Best company that I have ever delt with a return; hands down.

Really wide at the toe which makes them more comfortable than most footwear of this type, and solid tread on the bottom.

Comments about NRS Sasquatch Wetshoe - Closeout:
My wife and I each got a pair of these. We've only worn these once, but our impression so far is favorable. At first, my foot seemed to be getting numb (even though I bought a size larger than my regular size) but that sensation seemed to wear off over the course of the afternoon. The great thing about these shoes is that no gravel got in AT ALL, which is impressive.

Q:
If I wear it over dry suit booties, how many sizes up should I get?Asked on 1/18/2013 by T-Gripped5 answers
VERIFIED BUYER
A:
They fit fairly tight so I would suggest two sizes up.
Sent from my iPhoneAnswered on 1/18/2013 by AnonymousA:
This shoe runs about 1/2 size small. Depending on the thickness of insulation you wear inside the dry suit socks, you'll want to go up one or two sizes.Answered on 1/18/2013 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I ordered mine the same size as my street shoes. I wear a 1 1/2 mm neoprene
sock with mine sometimes and it's not tight at all. Drysuit and fleece maybe a
size bigger but they are generous in their sizing.Answered on 1/18/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
i wear a size twelve and they are a little tight over dry suit bootys but not bad, i would say a half size bigger if they come in itAnswered on 1/18/2013 by Anonymous

A:
I dont have a camera right now, but I can tell you that the traction is right on. I spent a long time in these walking on slippery rocks and they do fine. A world better than wool socks, and not quite as good as a straight felt sole.Answered on 12/6/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
Honestly, worst shoe i have ever bought, no traction, after only about four uses they fell apart. Although i am pleased with many nrs products unfortunately this is not one of them.Answered on 12/8/2012 by Anonymous
