Here are some frequently asked questions about the Kokatat Nomad Neoprene Kayak Shoes:
How high are the boots? - These boots were for my husband. He's about 5'9" tall and the boots come up to just below his knees. They are great boots, very comfortable, and very dry - he uses them religiously while kayak fishing.
Is there a way to stretch the throat on these boots out? - Sorry I don’t Kona.
Im a size 10. Can I wear heavy wool socks in a size 10? or should I go up to a 11? - These fit really large, to the point they are sized wrong. I wear a size 10 and even with heavy socks and an insole they are too big.
I want to wear them over my footed dry pants should I go a size up? - It depends on how thick your footed dry pants are. I accidentally ordered one size too big and can easily wear extra thick socks in them and still have room. I only wear them for kayaking when it’s below 40 and I never need to portage. I only take the kayak from the car to the put-in/launch and back so I do very little walking in them. They are great for staying dry in cold weather.
