Booty Recommendation??

[crabbypatties]

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good fitting booty? My old (90's) Akona fit quite well, but falling apart. The new Akona unfortunately fit too loosely. I have size 12 feet, but they are narrow and have very little arch. All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

- Go to dive shops and try them on.
- You can wear neoprene or other socks with your boots, might help
- I like to use the thickest sturdiest neoprene boot I can get, I've had cold feet in cold water but never overheating feet in warm water.
- You might look into sailing dinghy boots, similar construction to dive boots and often tougher construction.

Recommendations? Shake it, baby, shake it! Oh. It was a serious question. Sorry.

When I was diving wet I used Henderson Hyperstretch for my 10.5EEE feet. I think they were Size 11. My feet were warmer than my hands, even in 3-finger gloves. YMMV. Everyone is a bit different.

Neoprene sock with Hi-Top style baseball boots on top. Very comfortable.

Depends on your feet. My feet like the Aqualung SuperZip booties. Other brands don’t feel right to me anymore lol. If you can try on at your LDS, do.

Agreed on all these counts.

I wear a Scubapro 6.5mm bootie plus a neoprene short-sock even in warm water 'cuz those booties are the only ones I've found with a zipper-retaining velcro, and I've never had a problem with overheated feet.

I wear one or the other , the Aqualung Super Zip get the most use, with Shark skin socks, Converse and socks in he tropics.
Do try them on at your LDS first.

After having any number of booties and rock-boots, I now prefer NRS brand, "Wet-boots" with an integral sock, over OTS, etc and match them with XXL fins . . .
