FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the 5mm thickness?
The 5mm thickness provides enhanced thermal insulation, keeping feet warmer in colder water conditions compared to thinner boots.
Are these boots suitable for very cold water (below 10°C)?
While the 5mm neoprene offers good warmth, performance in extremely cold water can vary. For prolonged use in very cold conditions, consider thicker neoprene boots or additional insulation like neoprene socks.

Can I wear socks with these boots?
Yes, you can wear thin wetsuit socks for added warmth or comfort, but ensure it does not compromise the snug fit of the boot. Many users prefer to wear them without socks.
What kind of maintenance do these boots require?
After each use, rinse the boots thoroughly with fresh, cold water and allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
Are the reinforced soles suitable for walking on rocks?
The reinforced soles offer good durability and protection against abrasion, making them suitable for walking on most surfaces encountered during watersports, including moderately rocky areas.
What watersports are these boots best suited for?
They are ideal for surfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, windsurfing, and other aquatic activities where foot warmth and protection are important.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided sizing chart. Try wearing thinner socks or no socks at all. If still too tight, consider a larger size.
Water ingress leading to cold feet
Check that the boot is fitting snugly around the ankle. Ensure it is properly paired with your wetsuit to minimize gaps. Rinse and dry boots thoroughly before wearing.
Soles showing signs of wear
Regularly inspect the soles for any damage. Avoid walking on excessively sharp or abrasive surfaces when not in the water. Proper rinsing and drying can extend sole life.
Neoprene odor
Rinse boots thoroughly with fresh water after each use. Air dry completely. For persistent odors, a specialized neoprene cleaner or a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
