wetsuit stretch?

well.. ive seen all the posts and i know that the booties go under your wetsuit but would that stretch your wetsuit out to the point that next time when you arent wearing booties then the water will just leak in and out?

nah mate, neoprene is made to have no memory, ie it'll always return to its original shape. It doesn't give over time at all.
