The Comm-3 booties are built off the same last as the Paddle Wetshoe so the fit and the sturdy structure around the foot is the same except the Paddle Wetshoe has a band over the instep that makes the shoe a bit tighter. Both are great shoes but with the COMM-3 on sale, choose this! The neoprene is stretchy and makes it easy to slide on over your bare foot or a drysuit sock. These were originally intended for commercial outfitter use, so the back panel is color-coded by size. The sole on the Comm-3 Wetshoe has enough tread to grip rocks without being too bulky to wear in a sea kayak or creek boat.

NRS Comm-3 Wetshoe bootie is the only bootie we know of that comes in Size 15. Sea and river kayakers with big feet will find the Comm-3 Wetshoe booties are good for all but cramped freestyle whitewater kayaks. 

The Comm-3 bootie is wide enough in the toe box to fit well over a dry suit with dry socks and liner socks inside (just buy one size bigger than your street shoe to accommodate socks). Comm-3 Wetshoe booties have a zipper dam to minimize water flowing in and the zipper is the locking style so it stays where you zip it even if you don't or can't close it all the way.

Comm-3 Wetshoes are made of stretchy 3-mm neoprene. A 3-mm thick high-traction sole, paired with a 5-mm neoprene insole, protects your feet from rocks and roots. The sole that extends flat past the heel and toe, wraps around and adds protection and durability.

If wearing them barefoot, they run true to size. If wearing over drysocks and liner socks, you'll need to go a half to one full size larger than normal (if you wear a 14 or 14.5 buy a 15). With this adjustment, we get very few returns.

Whole unisex (Men's) sizes only. For women, a unisex 8 is about equal to a Woman's 9 (so if wearing these over a drysuit/drysock buy the unisex 8 if you wear a Women's 8 street shoe -- that will give you the extra room needed to accommodate the dry sock and liner sock in the dry suit)

Sizes: 9-15 (note 15 fits like 14.5 if wearing over socks)

Color: Black w/color-coded panel in the back - The back neoprene panel is color-coded by size for quick and easy identification in commercial settings.
