Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
These are wetsuit boots, meaning they are designed to get wet. They keep your feet warm by trapping a thin layer of water between the skin and the neoprene.
Can I use these for walking on sharp coral?
Yes, they provide protection against reef cuts and abrasions, but they are not a substitute for heavy-duty hiking shoes.
How should the boots fit?
They should be snug without being restrictive or painful. A proper fit ensures they don't fill with excess water while surfing.
Are they machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the neoprene. Hand wash only.
Can these be worn with fins?
While designed primarily for surfing, they can be worn with swim fins if the fin pocket is large enough to accommodate the boot.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery inside
Ensure your feet are completely dry before putting on the boots or use a small amount of baby powder to manage moisture.
Difficulty putting the boots on
Fold the cuff down halfway before inserting the foot, then pull the cuff up once the foot is seated properly.
Unpleasant odor after use
Soak the boots in a mixture of water and a wetsuit-specific cleaning solution or mild soap, then rinse and air dry in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Quiksilver Reef Boots last through the season, rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after every use, especially after saltwater exposure, to remove grit and salt crystals that can break down the neoprene. Always air-dry the boots in a shaded area away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the material and cause premature cracking. Avoid storing them while damp to prevent mildew growth. These boots are compatible with standard junior surfboard setups and can be worn with or without fin socks, depending on the desired tightness of the fit.
