3mm or 5mm booties

[LBCrew]

Yes... Get 3mm boots for spring and fall, and 5mm boots for winter. I think 7mm boots are a bit overkill, but that's a personal opinion. Lots of guys swear by 7mm boots for the coldest months. But to answer your question, yea.. your instincts are good - get a pair of 3mm boots. They're very comfortable, and will put off the "luggage" of thick winter boots for a good month on either end of the cold water season. It's not that your feet will be too warm. It's that they're just so damn heavy and awkward.

7 mil's the whole way. in my opinion, there's no such thing as a hot foot in 50 degree water. the boot might feel a little awkward but i dont really see the point in having 2 pairs. the warmer the better!

every opinion is represented,which makes me think maybe you should get all 3.
or maybe i should.

just get the 3 and the 7 if you think you'll be cold at any point. if you're feet get cold your f*cked. if they get a little warm then no problem. i guess if the 7s are too expensive you can go with a 5 but both will be even worse

good idea. but are the 7s alot clunkier then 5s. ive never worn booties but i can imagine that 7mm of rubber on your feet can feel pretty heavy and maybe even effect my popup?
