Just received a pair of the surge for the kayak, these would look goofy with anything but a canoe/kayak as they're neoprene booties. I have another pair coming that I'lltry for daily wear. Don't know if they'll look good with a kilt though. I predict that they'll be popular but figure I'm one of the few in Canada to have a pair. In Canada they are only availiable at Mountain Equipment Co-Op. For the uninitiated here's a pic.
