    Taking off wet neoprene boots can be a pain in the hind end. Having a side zip shoe like this is the best option I've seen to combat the humidity and that foot suck that makes you struggle to remove your neoprene after a long day on the water. The velcro over flap is also a nice touch to keep your zipper from getting caught up in a pant leg and then loosening up. Another big plus for me is that the NRS Backwater is protective yet breathable at the same time. These wetshoes aren't meant to keep you bone dry. The design is for tolerable water temps but you won't get swamp feet either. It's a good combination of circulation and thermal water heating. Probably the most surprising thing to me was the comfort. On one of my test trips out I actually got out of the kayak and bank stomped for a couple of hours. I wore the Backwater shoes and they were really comfortable. The tread was nice and gripping on the wet rocks.
