I cover up about all the skin I can but I don't cover my feet.
Getting tired of red feet. I don't need any thing for warmth,
just sun coverage. Socks, light shoes, what are you guys wearing.
Thanks Mike

So far the most comfortable I've found are made by Body Glove. With my Hobie I like to wear something that covers both the top and bottom of my feet so that I can push and pull on the pedals like I do when I'm riding my bike.

I like the Calcutta brand of dive boots. Nice durable sole.

I have a set of dive boots but I can't imagine keeping those on on a warm day. Do you guys fill it with water to keep your feet cool?

I was going to pick a pair up last week when some website had them on sale. $32 I think but Marine buddy of mine who run in those told me that proper fit was crucial and I should go get fitted before buying. I’m going to have to remember to try a pair out next time I’m and sports chalet.

Started out with Dive booties, but my feet sweated too much - that unbreathable neoprene is killer on a hot day. Then I went to the KSO five fingers like those above - they worked well, but are so lowcut that the top of my feet still sunburned.
Then I did my research and found out what the flats fishermen use in the tropics. Columbia Drainmaker shoes came super highly rated - made like tennis shoes, but designed for breathability and water use. Now my feet never get hot, and are completely covered for sun protection. When they get stinky, I just throw them in the washing machine. You can get them cheap right now, because they have been replaced by the newer PowerDrain line, I think I paid something like $40 at West Marine a month ago.

Sexy. but how do those protect your feet from the sun?

The sanuk slip-on shoe/sandal is my go to footwear. Light-weight breathes, and is comfortable.
