Winter Booties

I don't buy splits anymore. Large toe seems to get cold when not with the other four.

 

Never used split toes homie. What kind of fins do you rock?

 

I never had a problem with the split toes being uncomfortable. My issue was/is my leash getting caught in the gap. As a sponger I don't think you'd have that problem. get 'em!

 

Dude Yazbeck's nuff said or H20 are always $25 bucks a pop for 5 mill...never use surfing booties with soles in your flipper kickerz dude...

 

Yazbecks

 

Try putting a layer of silicon glue on the heal. Tends to help prolong the heal wear

 

Check out those Yazbecks industructable the 5 mills are almost to much warmth for me right now..

 

Man, I saw these and what's up with them?

hard sole and split toe on a boogie boot?

 

Dude I wore a pair of booties with a sole once..never again..my churchies are 10 years old so they fit my foot with or without booties..best fin ERS4

 

I don't see what good split toes could do under fins, other than keeping your feet colder.

Jawn, I'm jealous that you have 10 year old Churchills, they don't make them like they used to.

 

You'd be correct SBX the foot pocket is shaped different..no size properly fits me anymore..I been trying lots of different fins and finally scooped a pair of those ERS4..they're so good..
Yeah about all there still good for is body surfing and winter..warm temperatures and they go gumby

 

I have been doubling up the H2oddyseys for 10 mil total, they only last 1 season but I use last season's as the "inner" layer... also i have to twist the velcro straps a ton to make them tight enough so the things don't flush like a mofo every time you catch a wave

 

in my 3mm my left toe rubs against the rubber. it blisters and get gross and infected. i've solved this problem by taping my left toe with some athletic tape and wrapping it a few times, it works. if you choose to do this just remember you taped your toe. the tape may come off when you're taking the bootie off and you'll have a hunk of tape where your big toe should be.

my 5mm dont have this problem and i dont have 7mm but make it through the winter fine

 

also i have xcel and i use size 13, when i buy shoes i get 14 or 15 but i can squeeze my foot into these

 

I think Split toe is for added stability when stand up surfing as it allows your foot to spread out more. If your bodyboarding, I don't think it'd be very important to have split. In fact, I'd say round is better, unless you're doing drop-knee all the time.

 

You ride for 662 or what? How close are the ERS4s to Redleys? I could get those and that Turbo-looking board Science came out with last year or whatever and then have a sick MS Halloween costume.
