Neoprene Boots & Water Shoes

Why Use Water Shoes?

Water shoes serve a variety of purposes. In this section, you will discover beach footwear ideal for water sports and numerous leisure activities on or in the water.

SUP FOOTWEAR

Neoprene boots could be an excellent choice when venturing out on your SUP in cooler weather. For SUP enthusiasts, you might also consider wearing water shoes with a rubber sole underneath. This sole will guard against sharp objects as you wade into the water with your paddle board. However, you won't need shoes to enhance grip on the deck, as paddleboards are crafted for use with bare feet.

SWIMMING FOOTWEAR

Rubber-soled swimming shoes are superb for swimming at rocky beaches. If you enjoy swimming in open water, you might want to consider neoprene socks to maintain warmth. Do you love cold water swimming? Then you probably already understand that a pair of cold water swimming shoes can be a significant asset.

SURFING BOOTIES

Surfing booties, also known as neoprene boots or wetsuit boots, are created to keep your feet warm in chilly waters. They also ensure foot protection from corals, sharp objects, and rocks. They are used across various surfing disciplines.

Selecting Neoprene Boots

Neoprene boots come in two styles - split toe or round toe.

The choice of surf booties depends on personal taste. Split toe wetsuit boots have the big toe separated from the other toes. Many surfers believe these boots offer improved balance and a better feel of the board. The round toe neoprene boots lack a divider, making them considered more comfortable.

How Should Surf Booties Fit?

Wetsuit boots should fit closely around your ankles and feet. Boots that are too tight could restrict circulation, while those too large may fill with water, leading to cold feet and reduced balance.

Surfing booties are typically available in thicknesses of 3 mm, 5 mm, and 7 mm. Thicker boots provide additional warmth, allowing you to surf even on the chilliest days, though they might be slightly less sensitive, potentially diminishing the board feel.

Be sure to measure your feet and consult the size chart to secure a pair of water shoes that fits you perfectly. Initially, your new wetsuit boots might feel somewhat tight, but you can expect them to stretch and fit more comfortably after several uses.
