I've bought a pair of these when attending to a 58 wks commercial helmet dive school. I didn't only logged more than 500 hrs bottom time @ the school, but also did pool PT 5 times x week for a year. Took'em with me to Italy to do Combat swimmer school. Because every piece of my luggage got wet while traveling, and these boots dried faster than my regular footwear, I used'em as shoes, and they're not only confy, but also keep your feet warm on cold enviroment! .I highly recommed this item if you have to expose ur gear to the worst! The neoprene has a double layer, the soles are tough (walking on top of jagged rocks?.. no worries!), True non-slip soles with awesome grip that increases performance & confidence when working on slipery enviromment. The rubber toe & the sole still holding on after more than 18 months of almost daily use. Bad things: When they're brand new, you'll have to "break'em in" like a true pair of "boots" they are. I used to go running with them. But once their good... feels just like that old pair of boots. I've used'em for freediving several times with my Rocket fins II... but they're a bit too heavy for this purpose... Ah! Don't store'em when wet for too long, cuz they'll stink for ever!!!

I just got these today and I wore them all around the house super excited about them. They're real stiff so you're gonna have to break them in. Going scuba diving with them this Wednesday. Yeah I only have for a few hours so far but we'll see how they hold up. I'm just so excited about these that I had to write a review about them.

This is a pretty good boot. They work great as a rocky beach entry boot. These boots make it easier to hike/carry your equipment to the dive site.

Would recommend going up at least 1 size with these boots from your regular boot size for barefoot use. As stated they are stiff at first and like any good pair of boots you need to break them in. Once broken in they are very comfortable, took me about a day in all over the course of a weekend to break them in. I use mine with the SAR Shredder fins, nice and comfortable feeling when used with these fins. Water purges nicely from these, feet stay nice and warm as well. Offers a good amount of ankle support with enough flexibility for swimming with fins. Also don't forget to take care of these just like you would with any wetsuit after use! The sock is neoprene so care for it as you would a wetsuit and you should have no problems at all, if it does start to smell I would use a wetsuit shampoo/cleaner.

These are good quality boots that were very comfortable after breaking in. The problem I had with them was that they don't work as well with the Rocket II fin as I had hoped. The laces are thick and run along the top of the foot. 2 days of SAR swimming with fins were uncomfortable if not painful. They're good as long as you're not logging alot of fin time. If you are, I would go with the SAR boot with offset laces.
