Actually, no, not at all. Wear a pair of wool socks (change then as often as
you like) under the booties and change into sandals whenever you take a
break or camp. Your feet stay dry unless you get them soaked...just like any
other pair of footwear (unless they're absolutely watertight like a
drysuit). I've met others wearing the same footwear and the reaction is
always the same, positive, "isn't it amazing how comfy they are" exchange. I
didn't believe they would work either but after 25 years of "doing it" I
know they work. Essentially, if you have decent ankles, they function a lot
like moccasins. Just watch those dry, pine needled slopes!
