Greetings, two days ago I ordered a dry suit for Laser sailing.
I now have a question about footwear. I'm new to this, so please bear with me!
I need to know what size hiking/trapeze boot to get.
How many layers are there between my foot and the water?
Based on what I can tell:
1. My naked foot goes into a thin sock of some kind. i.e. layer 1.
2. I then slip into the dry suit, which has an attached latex foot, i.e. layer 2.
3. I then put yet another sock of some kind over the latex foot, to reduce wear on the dry suit latex against the outer boot, this being layer 3
4. I then put this into my hiking/trap boot which is then layer 4.
Is this correct? If so, I wear a US men's size 7 on my normal shoes.
What size hiking/trap boot would I buy to accommodate all the layers?
Thanks very much in advance,
Doug
