anybody try the fivefingers booty?

I like booties for the warmth and to avoid cuts - but I'm wondering about the foot feel on these? http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/barefooting/water_sports.cfm Pricey, though - could buy two pair of my usual booties. Vic

They are not suitable for windsurfing as they are not secured to your foot and thus come off easily. The newer models like the KSO and Flow might be better.

However, I would suggest that you actually try a pair on at a store, if possible. The bottoms of these booties, while very flexible and form-fitting, do not stretch at all. If your feet are just a bit too big, your toes will get cramped up, sometimes uncomfortably so. My pinkie toes were getting jammed in them, so I took a razor and tried to work that one area a bit. It's not too bad now, but I don't use them for windsurfing yet.
