Fins with my toon?
#17
[#0000FF]Zackly. Most of us put our fins on when we are launching and take them off as we come out of the water. There is almost always at least a short walk from vehicle to water...and some folks don't put on their fins until they have launched. That also requires some walking over the bottom of the lake before putting on the fins. Having the thick soles of the water shoes or diving booties protects both waders and tender footsies.

The ones in the pic should work well. Just be sure to order them a size or two larger than your normal foot size to accomodate the waders and socks. Even larger if you will be fishing in cold water with multiple layers. And that means you will need fins large enough to hold all that without constriction.

I normally advise to get the waders first. Then take them with you to try on water shoes or booties. And once you have the right wader/boot combo you can shop for fins that will fit over them. Some stores and dive shops will allow you to bring in your layers and try them on. If they don't...don't buy there unless there is a good return policy.

Whatever you do, don't buy fins first and try to stuff 10 pounds of meat into 5 pound foot pockets on your fins.
