DGX Watersports Boots - 5MM Neoprene
Snug Fit - choose one size larger if you have a wider foot, like a bit of extra room, or like to wear socks with your booties.
This DGX Watersports Boot is a heavy duty design from { 0.2 in | 5 mm } neoprene with a hardened anti-slip sole to make this boot durable yet offering a contoured fit. Neoprene panel seams are double-glued and then blind stitched, meaning the needle doesn't fully penetrate the neoprene thus keeping water out. Perfect for use with all our technical diving spring strap swim fins, the low profile boot incorporates a built-in fin strap holder above the heel. The toe protection has a tongue that extends up the ankle, protecting the area on the top of the foot at the base of the ankle from rubbing on the top edge of the fin foot opening while swimming. The boot top incorporates a NEW and IMPROVED very durable coil design YKK® AquaGuard® Water Repellent #5 Zipper that is practically waterproof and is also neoprene backed to further minimize water exchange helping keep feet warm. A puncture-resistant inner sole insert is sandwiched between the outer sole and inner boot lining for flexible protection. The positive grip texture on the abrasion resistant sole makes this boot suitable on the dive boat deck, as well as a good choice for a variety of other water sports like paddle boarding, kiteboarding, wakeboarding, and kayaking.
Offering suitability for the widest range of water conditions, 5mm neoprene boots are generally used in waters with temperatures of { 60°F - 80°F | 16°C - 27°C }, depending on personal preference.
The men's/women's size number listings in the table are for approximate reference only and we don't recommend using those values to make your choice. Ideally, to choose your size, measure your foot from heel to toe, then find the closest Inner Length measurement. The corresponding size will give you a snug fit.
Choose one size larger if you have a wider foot, like a bit of extra room, or like to wear socks with your booties.

Your Hands and Feet Can Be Larger When Diving
Divers experiencing a slight swelling in hands and feet is not unusual. Called edema, mild swelling in your hands or feet is not a typical symptom of decompression sickness (DCS) and would rarely occur alone. If it were related to DCS, it would more likely occur with pain, numbness or change in skin sensation. Diving related causes are more likely a constrictive wrist or ankle cuff on a wetsuit or dry suit. The depth compensating elastic wrist bands or bungee cords popular with technical dive computers is another common cause. If you are sizing new boots or gloves, keep in mind that a snug fit on dry land might become really uncomfortably tight when gearing up for diving.
