        For $15. more dollars you can get these Wind River brand. A superior product to the rayguards. They come up higher, have a strap under the arch not a piece of elastic, and are much better made. FTU has them.

          I use snake boots, lighter and more comfortable than raygaurdz.
          Top of the foot protection too.

          I went out with with Capt. Hollis, he said: they took snake boots and tested them, barb didn't go thru. I have always been concerned they wouldn't work. I'll pay any amount for protection and comfort against those evil rays

            I use the rayguards from academy. mine didn't come with a strap for under the shoe. I don't have a problem with them riding up either.

                    Shuffle your feet. It doesn't matter if the water is murky or clear.

                        Flats boots for me...no protection. I'm not saying I wont ever get hit, but I haven't yet and been in the water surfing and fishing since at least 1975. I always shuffle my feet, and never ever back step...them little suckas are sneeky that way. They follow your trail thinking its a feeding red kickin up stuff. Bottom line, if it brings you sense of well being, then wear them for sure. I know I'm gonna take some flac over my veiw here...and I'm sure it only takes once!

                            I use to not wear anything other than the neo wade shoes. I never got hit but figured my luck would run out soon. Its funny. I didn't start bumping into rays until I started wearing reef boots with the shin guards.

                              Yep, you're a big boy and can do what you want ( think Mike Mc Bride's photos) . I know a guy who didn't wear guards fot 20 years and first time he did, he got popped. I hope you are right.
