Hey spyder,
I use neoprene waders, and I've never used ANY boots while tubing. For one thing, if you use a heavy wading boot like is used when flyfishing, I think it weighs your feet down and makes you get tired faster. Something like a neoprene booty that TD has would be perfect. I'm looking into getting something like that or something called a "water sock" I think, which is the same idea.
Anyway, I've been tubing for years and I've always just used my stocking foot waders directly into my fins. I've never had any problem with wear either, but I would only go tubing like 4 or 5 times a year, not all the time. With heavier use, it might wear out faster. Just thought I'd let you know you can make do without. Just be careful that you don't walk on the ground with the stockingfeet and put holes in the bottom of them. i would bring a light pair of shoes or some sandals to tie to the side of my tube to walk down to the water with, then I'd put them back on when I got out.
