Check out the local dive shops as TD suggested. Search the yellow pages for the nearest one and ask for booties. Prices vary but look to spend at least 30 bucks. My booties and fins are US Divers. At least I can still use some of my dive gear out hear in UT.[
] If you go in wet you don't need anything under the booties, just your bare feet and the heels are designed so the fin straps can't slide off. There should be enough room to put them over your waders also. Don't hold me to that cause' I haven't tried it yet. When it comes to flippers and related gear a dive shop can't be beat. Can you imagine the problems you would have if your flippers kept slipping off at 40' down while wearing a constrictive wet suit, gloves, and mask vision. Not to mention all the other crap you need to carry like your own air. Be warrned if you do get dive flippers they don't float long. They are designed to be neutral to negatively boyant so once they fill up down they go.
