Any suggestions on booties to buy?
The Oceanic "Neo Classic" booties fit real good in the Oceanic Viper fins (size XL) I have. Solid, no wiggle. The booties are comfy to walk in, remind me of desert Bellevilles. I figure they're not going to be like a tight neoprene sock, but I'm kinda okay with that if they afford the peace of mind by preventing me from another nasty hospital visit to stitch up the underside of my foot. Happened before while playin' frogman. I was on crutches for a bit while it healed.
The SCUBA shop I bought this stuff at obviously pushes Oceanic products. I'm guessing they're basic issue to cherries.
I didn't get the goofy SCUBA cherry split fins... but I didn't want solid fins just yet because I might suck and fins are inexpensive.
I would consider returning my initial purchase to exchange it for your recommendation if you've had less than spectacular experience with what I've got.
Once again, thank you for the advice. Heh, patronize all you like. I'm definitely into saving a buck and having functional, quality kit.
