I'm in the market for a decent bootie to pair with my paddling suit. Right now I use my low top xtra tuf boots because it's all I have. I don't need the top of the line Binford 5000 but don't want the blue light special either. I've looked at the NRS men's paddle wet shoe and it looks great. Just would rather have some recommendations. Oh and I'm on a Hobie so something comfortable for pedaling is a must.  Thanks all.

You're not worried about tears or punctures? I don't want to ruin an expensive paddling suit because of footwear.

Teva brand hiking sandals I bought at REI.
I have been wearing those same sandals for 7 years over my dry pants over sand, rocks, etc. Getting pebbles in the sandals in the surf is a minor issue, as I just shake them out. Very comfortable. I did glue the soles this year because the soles were coming apart, but otherwise tje sandals and pants are in good shape

I have the NRS wet shoes and love them. If you go that route just be sure they are big enough so you can wear warm socks under your paddling suit.
Wanted to buy: Stealth ProFisha 575 or 525

I wear these over my drysuit booties and love 'em

You want 1 size larger than what you usually wear to allow for the drysuit. Unfortunately, their largest size is what I usually wear, so my tootsies are a bit cramped, but still by far the best solution I've found for pedaling the Hobie...
Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away...

Any Neoprene wadding boot would work, just be sure it fits comfortably over your suit.
I use the Hodgman wading boot I got on a closeout deal for $29.00 a few years back
