Dry Suit Zip care Advice

[@lech111]

Hi Seth, thanks a lot for all yours very informativ videos. I enjoy it every times. 😊👍. And now I have a question but not regarding the zip, but regarding this suit. Or better to say regarding shoes which you can recomand for such integrated fabric socks. I bought just my first dry suit and now I need the right shoes for it. And I tend to order this "HIKO Surfer" : daskanulaedchen.de/Hiko-Neoprenschuh-SURFER-455-US-12-schwarz What do you mean, it is a good idea? Best Regards from Germany Petr

Yea they look fine, maybe a little on the light weight side. Depends what kind of kayak you are fitting into and what type of paddling you are doing. These look good for small foot room freestyle boat without too much walking. If you are creeking and walking a lot they might be too light but depends on you o guess!

@@SethAshworth Thanks for the superb speedy reply. Well I paddle the Pyranha Ripper and I am practicaly all the time here in Augsburg on the olympic white water course. But I want to start to paddel more on the rivers. Therefore I bought the dry suit. My "problem" is that have too large feet. I am 174 cm tall, but may feets are EUR 46 (US 12,5, UK 11,5). For the dry suit I have to order then the size UK 13 (US 14). Therefore I can not take havier shoes because then I do not have enough space in my boat. OK, then I try the a.m. shoes and we will see. What shoes are you using? By the way: The videos for my YT chanel are taken just with my inflatable kayak which I use for relaxing in the nature. BR Petr

I think there are plenty of paddlers in Innsbruck area who use a similar shoe to above, especially useful if you have bigger feet probably!I seem to recall when I lived in silz in 2011 I saw a bunch of people who paddled with this type of foot wear. Better than nothing.
