Questions & Answers

jake m : Are they positively buoyant?darrick c : Hello jake, yes these would float if dropped in the water.
CHRISTOPHER M : I normally wear a size 9-9.5 shoe. Are these sized larger than normal? Would a size Large or Medium be a better fit? Based on the size chart, I think Large, but if it would fit upto a 10.5 foot I am wondering if I am going to have an extra inch of space to fill with water.THOMAS C : I wear a 9.5 normally and I purchased the ML (Medium Large) size and it fits tight. Not too tight, but no water spaces. I think the Meduim would be a tad tighter and the large purhaps a little too roomy. ThanksKENNY S : I think the sizing is a little on large side...probably about a 1/2 size. As far having too much space filled with water try wearing a par of socks inside the boot. Your feet will be warmer because there won't be as much water transfer. I know this works for me.KEN D : I normally wear a 9-9.5 size shoe, in addition I have wide feet so I usually need a triple E as well. I bought the large and they fit perfectly. My recommendation is to go with the Large anything bigger would be to much.
Justin H : What makes the B1s "semi dry"?RONALD A : hi justin i have no idea why thay are called semi dry. ican say i like them ,they are warmer. they are also completly wet inside when i take them off. sorry ,ido think i would ask the company who makes them that question. ron a master diver naui.DAVID R : iT HAS THE GLIDSKIN INNER SEAL SO IF YOU HAVE THE SUIT THAT HAS THAT AT THE END OF IT, IT SORT OF SEALS OUT THE WATER.DARRELL B : I guess the "semi-dry" label is a marketing tool. The boots are standard wet suit boots. They are of very good quality, probably the best I have ever owned. If matched with their wet suits (that fit very well and let in very little water) they make a good seal and compliment the system. I give them "5" out of 5 for fit, construction, and quality. BTW, I own a Waterproof W2 wet suit, and I also dive a drysuit (with attached boots). DB
JOHN B : I bought a pair of Henderson Hyperstretch 7mm boots a few years ago. The must be cut smaller than my size 10 shoe size, because now they hurt to walk in them. I notice the large size of these Waterproof 6.5mm Semi-Drys is 9-10.5. How comfortable are they to walk around in especially when I'm kitted up and walking to the waters edge?WILLIAM C : There is no Gold Standard between manufactures. I take a men's 9 in Nike's but an 8.5 in Dress Shoes. Best way to measure is to stand on a piece of paper and have someone else make a mark at your heal and toe, then measure in CM. A Centimeter is roughly 1/4" imperial, then check the manufactures website for a size chart. You want your toes to touch the end of the boot dry, because they will expand when the water collects in the boot. If it hurts to walk on the boat or shore, just leave the water in the boots.Brett H : The waterproof boot has a slightly more flexible sole so unless you are walking on a rocky surface they should be very comfortable to walk in. Sizing is different from Henderson so it's hard to say for sure if you would be the lg or xl size.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?RON C : I wanted a pair of semi-dry boots to go with the semi-dry suit.BERENICE R : LOVE THE BRANDFRANK M : Waterproof you cant beet there products the best you know what they say you get what you pay for. Bit expensive but well worth the extra cost..

Not semi-dry

I use these for diving in Juneau, Alaska. The boots are not semi-dry. They let all of the water into your boot, just like a normal neoprene wet suit boot. The good thing about them is that they are warm! They're high quality and I am happy with my purchase.

Waterproof

The boots are great. Unfortunately the West suit doesn’t fit properly. I wore it to test it and I can’t do much with it because I used it. :/

Waterproof B1 6.5 Booties

Had been buying basic boots for years down at the outlets in Florida which seemed to typically last on the order of 3 seasons before something started to peel. Invested in a waterproof suit and went with these boots. They are awesome! Keep you warm, easy to put on, rugged and easy to walk around in with extended walks through the woods to get to a shore dive. Have put a lot of use on these now for 4 seasons and they are going strong, Would definitely buy another pair and will when these eventually wear out

Not impressed.

These are the first pair of waterproof boots I have ever bought. They're warm bit the zipper on the side doesn't stay zipped, it always falls down on both boots. Clearly the zipper is made of poor quality. I would rate the boots way better if it wasn't for the zipper, therefore I don't recommend these boots for the price they cost.

Dangerous on wet rocks

I used it 3 times, slipped on wet rocks 2 times. It is like ice skating. Terrible. I was injured and ruined hundreds of euros equipment. Not recommended at all. So slippery sole that I don't even consider selling it to anyone else. Goes to the trash. Unfortunately.

Waterproof boots

can't say enough about waterproof products. There cost a bit more but the quality and craftsmanship outweigh the bit of the higher price

Not for New England divers

There are two things I disliked about these boots: 1)The soles are thinn making walking over rocks stressfull. 2)Ankle area is designed for a 6-yr old. I used these boots for my certification dives and they left red markings all over my ankles..............so if you have ankles like a 6-yr old/female and don't shore dive near rocks then I would say buy yourself a pair because besides these two complaints these boots look and feel like great craftmanship.

Only used once to date

I like the attention to detail: 1. The spot for your name. Important when you are on small boat that has many divers and dive gear all over the place. 2. The ridge on the heel to keep fin stap on. 3. It seems to be well made. I dislike that fact that the zipper on both boots came all the way down during a 40 minute dive. I only wore these once. I will see if this is an issue on other dives in the future. Perhaps it is an issue with all boots that have a zipper. I never purchased a boot with a zipper before. Let me know if other divers have the same issue.
