Cold Protection for Your Feet - Neoprene Socks and Neoprene Booties / Diver Boots
As water extracts heat from the body during diving, snorkeling, surfing, or other water sports, the extremities such as the head, hands, and feet are the first to receive less blood circulation, which can lead to rapid hypothermia.
For the head and hands, you will find a wide selection of high-quality diving gloves and neoprene hoods in the Gloves & Hoods category of our online dive shop.
To protect your feet optimally, you will need either neoprene socks or neoprene booties that shield your feet from cold with a 3 to 7mm neoprene layer.
Neoprene Socks - Socks for Snorkeling Fins
Neoprene socks are made of very soft and flexible 1.5mm neoprene, such as the Waterproof Neoprene Socks B2, and are ideal for diving as additional cold protection in the diver's neoprene booties or under the boots of a drysuit, but also as neoprene socks for swimming, rowing, or snorkeling as cold protection in snorkeling fins.
Neoprene Booties for Fins, Neoprene Shoes and Neoprene Boots
To protect your feet while diving against cold and injuries from fins or on the way to the dive site, neoprene booties for divers are essential. In our online dive shop, we offer various Waterproof booties, Scubapro neoprene booties, or Mares booties in different material thicknesses and cuts that work excellently as booties for diving, surfing, paddling, or other water sports.
5mm Neoprene Boots for Fins
Many of the booties in our dive store are classic, lightweight diver booties made of 5mm neoprene with a thin to medium thick sole and various closure options.
We have neoprene booties with velcro closure such as the Scubapro No Zip Booties, neoprene boots with zipper closure like the Scubapro Delta 5 or the Mares Classic NG Booties, and also practical slip-on neoprene shoes, which are a type of neoprene socks with a thick sole, like the popular Waterproof B50 Boots.
Short Neoprene Booties - 3mm Neoprene Shoes for Water Sports
Neoprene shoes, in the style of beach walkers, also come in a more stable form, as short booties for fins, but with a low shaft, just up to the ankles - very practical in warm waters for easy on and off. In our dive shop, you can find options such as the Scubapro Delta Short or the TUSA Short Booties.
These short booties are more suitable for warm water where the foot is not well protected against cold, and they are also good for many other water sports, such as surf shoes or rowing neoprene shoes.
Thick Neoprene Boots - Rock Boots and Heavy Duty Boots
For challenging terrain, cold water, heavy diving fins, or over drysuit socks, a diver needs particularly warm and durable booties. For this purpose, very good 6.5mm or 7mm neoprene booties with warm lining and very thick, robust, and non-slip soles are suitable, such as the neoprene booties with a thick sole like the Scubapro Heavy Duty 6.5mm Neoprene Boots or the Waterproof B2 6.5mm Booties that are durable and stable like the robust Mares Flexa DS 6.5mm.
