Rating: Soft boots
Reviewer: elizabeth s.,
I really appreciate the flexibility of these boots and the fit is great. Just enough room for me to wiggle my toes, not enough to scrape or cause blisters. Easy on and off, as well. These were a real bargain!

Order according to your shoe size, if you are in between sizes go up to the next closest size. As long as the item is not used in the water you have up to 60 days to refund or exchange it.

Hello David, boots like this do not come in half sizes so if you wear a size 9 tennis shoe then you are going to order a size 9. If you are a 9.5 then you are going to round up to a size 10.

Neoprene is a type of foam rubber that was developed in the 1930s by scientists at DuPont. It is used in virtually all wetsuits and is generally laminated on either side with various materials to produce varying degrees of stretch. BARE suits generally use four different types of laminates that produce four different degrees of stretch. (1) Full-Stretch or 4-way stretch, used in our ELASTEK suits, (2) Progressive-Stretch, used in our Velocity series suits, (3) Powerstretch, used in our Ignite series suits and (4) Standard stretch used in our Sport s series suits.
What do I need to do before the dive?
When donning your boots be careful not to snag the inner skin materials of the suit with fingernails, rings, bracelets etc as this can affect the sealing performance of your suit.
What do I need to do after the dive?
Prior to removing your boots be sure to unzip all the zippers completely. Once all the zippers have been unzipped, make your way out of the boots taking care not to damage the boots by excessive pulling or snagging with fingernails, rings, bracelets etc.
How should I store my boots?
Salt water and chlorine can reduce the life of your boots by drying out the neoprene. To keep your BARE boots looking good and maintain their health, after the dive you should let your boots soak in warm freshwater for 30 min. After soaking, rinse your boots and hang on a wetsuit hanger (a thin hanger will stretch the suit). Be sure to pull the zipper down all the way.
Note: Avoid placing your boots on hot surfaces and storing in the trunk of your car for extended periods of time.
What should I do about cuts or punctures on my boots?
Sometimes, contact with rocks underwater is unavoidable. Because of this, it is not uncommon to get rips and tears in your boots wetsuit. If you rip or tear your boots you can usually repair it using neoprene glue by filling in the hole or tear. Liquid Aquaseal is a common neoprene glue that can be used for the repair and can be found at one of our local retailers. Follow the instructions on the packaging.
