[cool][#0000ff]Actually, we have it pretty good with fins. There are plenty to choose from, including several brands that make extra large size with good soft pockets. Big enough for almost any tuber with a bunch of extra layers.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The big problem us big guys have, for cold water fishing, is finding "flats boots" large enough to hold size 13 feet, a couple of pairs of heavy socks and a neoprene wader foot. NOBODY makes one large enough. I have been using some special tubing booties I got from Cabelas about 25 years ago. They quit selling them shortly after I got two different sizes...for summer and winter. I have repaired them and kept them operational for all that time, but I keep looking for replacements.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have come up with several designs that would work, but have never taken the time to get the materials and put them together. I know from experience that it would be difficult to get a manufacturer involved because of the "limited" market. Maybe when my Cabelas booties finally wear out I can just duct tape my wader feet for protection.[/#0000ff]
