FAQs
Are these booties suitable for winter surfing?
At 3mm, they are best suited for cool to mild water conditions. For freezing winter temperatures, a thicker bootie may be required.
Does the split-toe design affect board feel?
Yes, it generally improves board feel and stability by allowing for better dexterity and grip inside the boot.
How should I clean the booties?
Rinse with fresh water after every use. Do not machine wash or use harsh detergents.
How do I ensure the right size?
The booties should fit snugly like a second skin without cutting off circulation or causing toe cramping.
Can I use these for sports other than surfing?
Yes, they are suitable for various water activities including kiteboarding, windsurfing, and paddleboarding.
Do these dry quickly?
Yes, the full thermal lining is designed to wick moisture away and promote faster drying compared to standard neoprene booties.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting feet inside the boot
Ensure both your foot and the bootie interior are completely dry before putting them on, or use a small amount of water to act as a lubricant if preferred.
Irritation between the toes
Ensure the split-toe divider is fully seated between the toes; if irritation persists, consider a thin anti-chafe balm.
Bootie fills with too much water
Check that the ankle opening is pulled tight against the skin and that your wetsuit leg is pulled down over the top of the bootie cuff to create a seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Love waves booties, always rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after every session to remove salt, sand, and debris. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene. When drying, avoid using heaters or tumble dryers; instead, hang them in a cool, shaded area with good airflow. To maintain shape, store them in a way that doesn't put unnecessary pressure on the split-toe bridge. These booties are compatible with most standard water sport bindings and foot straps due to their streamlined profile.
