What hard sole booties should I get?

[BSheffron]

On my last beach dive I stepped between two rocks and I think I chipped the bone on the outside of my foot. It is normally small bump on outside of the foot, now big bump and painful if I put pressure on it. I am looking for booties that have a hard sole.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I like the Bare Trek Boots. They will give you alot more protection than your neoprene booties. You will probably have to buy new fins since the boots will most likely not fit into the foot pockets

I have the Henderson Hyperstretch Boot.

Feels like a sneaker, and is excellent for shore dives. Like Hex92 wrote, you'll probably have to go up one fin size to fit these kind of boots.

These are such sturdy boots that I joke about cross-training in them.
Seriously though, check them out & protect those tootsies!

I'll second this recommendation. I forgot that I have a pair of these too (that I dive wet). They are great boots, and probably more appropriate for diving wet.

I love the Mares Avanti hard soled boots. I was told the soles are actually made by Adidas.

Thanks for the imput. I will check them out and let you know which I go with.

Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars. Pull out the insoles. 1/3rd the cost of DUI Rockboots
and just about the same thing.
