Boots that don't leak?

Post by Richters Riders »

I have a new pair of O'Neils that I pretty much spend more time drying out than anything else. To say I'm unhappy with them would be an understatement :banghead: It's not like I'm going in over the top of the boots at all in water holes. Even in smaller puddles the boots just let water in big time. I need boots that will not leak or at least will not allow water in for awhile. Any suggestions? :D

Alpinestar Tech-8s seem to keep out the water reasonably well.
A quick couple steps through water over the ankles & feet stay dry.
I haven't tested them standing in water any length of time.
Knee deep water = wet feet every time. :cheers:

Sidi flex force are 99% water proof. I can stand in water for a couple of minutes and none comes in.
