 a pair of the CF-200 soft boots Kevin mentioned and install them here.

Phi,
  I know what you are talking about; I have a Viking with some hard boots; 
Same problem.  I tried to find someone to change the boots to something like 
dui's but could not find any help.  That was a couple of years ago.
   The problem is the circumference difference between the top of the boot 
and the bottom of the suit leg.  Of course, sealing two pieces the same 
diameter is relatively easy; I would use a two part mix, just like the Viking 
glue for the hood and cuffs, but will that work for neoprene?  there's always 
aquaseal, great stuff, and it works on everything.
   one day I'll buy a suit that fits tighter, right now, can't afford it, so 
please let me know if you have any luck with what seams to be an easy thing 
to do; but isn't!


     Randy
