Jackson footbag is warm. I don't know how cold the water you paddle in is. But I recently forgot booties, and paddled my boat when water was 2 degrees and the air was below freezing.

i found tht not wereing socks wen u have boots on keeps ur feet warm. all socks do is get wet and stay cold on ur feet so if ya dont were socks then ya feet are a lot warmer.
