Why wear neoprene booties while surfing?
Your feet are often the first to feel the cold during a session. When the water temperature drops, neoprene booties help retain body heat while enhancing overall comfort in the water. They also protect against cuts, rocks, and abrasive bottoms found at certain spots.
Since 1976, we have noticed that a large number of surfers equipped with a good wetsuit and good surf booties extend their sessions longer and enjoy winter conditions more.

What thickness to choose based on water temperature?
The choice mainly depends on the water temperature.
- 3 mm: ideal for cool mid-season waters.
- 5 mm: the most versatile choice for autumn and winter on the Atlantic coast.
- 7 mm: recommended for the coldest conditions and extended sessions.
The colder the water, the thicker the booties need to be to maintain a good level of thermal comfort.
An essential complement to the wetsuit
Neoprene booties work in conjunction with a Men's Wetsuit, a Women's Wetsuit, or a Kids' Wetsuit suitable for the season.
Even with a high-performance wetsuit, your feet remain particularly exposed to heat loss. Adding booties often immediately improves the overall comfort of the session.
Complete gear for winter surfing
When temperatures get really low, experienced surfers usually pair their booties with Neoprene Gloves and a Neoprene Hood.
This combination effectively protects the body's extremities, the areas most sensitive to the cold, and significantly increases the time spent in the water.
Comfort, grip, and protection
Beyond their thermal role, surf booties also provide extra protection during water entries on rocky spots or pebble-covered beaches.
The specific soles also offer good grip on slippery surfaces and enhance safety when moving before and after sessions.
Caring for your neoprene booties
Like all neoprene gear, booties should be rinsed with fresh water after each use to remove salt and impurities.
Regular use of Neoprene Care products helps maintain the flexibility of the materials, prevents bad odors, and increases the lifespan of the gear.
