They also say to spray your feet with unscented antiperspirant and I could see where that might help.
The dry suit has a fairly thin ‘sock’ which goes into a dive boot which is a lot like a regular hiking boot. If you put a running shoe in the water and then stand in the cold it isn’t that pleasant.

If a guy used a nice neoprene bootie and kept your feet relatively dry i think it would keep your feet pretty warm. Biggest thing would be to keep from sweating.
