Yup - the 50lb
It feels canny and is a "round" braid

Yes they are divers boots, waterproof, non slip, warm, comfortable, non marking soles, and add flotation.
I've had mine a year now, they're perfect for the boat.

looking at the spec' they appear to be a kind of hybrid IE they can be used in the same sense as neoprene wet boots like kayakers/surfers etc wear but they can also be used like deck boots - more I look at them the more I want

Back to the original topic. I have a pair of wetsuit boots for canoeing. They’re warm enough and so air-tight they’d be stinking by the end a fishing trip, and the soles are so soft they only give minimal protection and cushioning. I’d check the pair mentioned are a loose fit and a proper sole. What’s wrong with a scruffy old pair of jeans and trainers? - No need to answer that, my wife tells what's wrong with them every time we go out

Aye Kev after the fish clean and the boat clean a normal pair of jeans and trainers are lifting to high heaven and even after numerous washes start to retain that special boaty odour...at least with a pair of salopettes and (hopefully) these boots I can keep the contamination to a minimum
