Keepin' your feet happy while crossing a river...

I found these really sweet scuba boots in my attic this summer. I think that they are actually Kayaking boots that my Dad used in the eightys. It's like a super thick wet suit wrapped around your foot with a rubber soul. They have a heavy duty zipper on the inside of the boot to really get things tight. Anyway... this summer when I went to the Windrivers for a week, I crossed a lot of rivers and was so glad to have these with me. They kept my ankle very secure when I was crossing. I could tell that when my ankle was about to give, the boots kept them in place. I crossed a river about neck deep with a swift current. The only reason I was able to cross was because I had a six inch log that I would post into the bottom of the river and I would hold my self up. The brand of these boots are Sea Style. When these wear out, I will go find a new pair. They are one of the best adventure shoes that I have worn and actually put to the test.
