5mm Neoprene Dive Boots for Adults – Fin Holder & Anti-Slip Rubber Sole – for Scuba Diving, Spearfishing, River Tracing, Water Activities

Although this is a review of a free product, I give you my word that my reviews will always be unbiased and truthful.I dive off of my beach here in the Pacific North West. After using them a long long time, last Summer was the last Summer for my old dive boots. When I saw these come across my Amazon Vine feed, I checked them out. The description sure sounded good, so I figured I’d take a chance and get them. The main thing I took a chance with? I wear a size 13, and these only go up to a size 12. Well, it turns out that the XXL/12 fit me just fine! One side of my beach is Oyster beds, and the nice thick rubber sole provides great protection for my feet. These boots have a nice, textured heavy duty, anti-slip outer sole. When oyster shells break, they can often be razor sharp, but these hold up well to them. The 5mm neoprene does a great job here in out frigid waters. The YKK zipper has a large tab on it making it easy to pull the zipper up, even while wearing gloves, or with cold hands. The toe and upper are a nice flexible yet rugged rubber. The heel has a bump out on them to help pull them off which is often a struggle with wet boots. For the price ($40 at the time of this review), these are a deal. To those reviewers commenting on how these are “waterproof” and “will keep your feet dry”. That isn’t how these boots work. If you are looking to keep your feet dry, you are going to be disappointed. These work like a wetsuit. They trap water between your skin and the neoprene, providing a warm water barrier around your skin. You will still get wet. Overall, these boots are great!
