You get booties and then then you get diving boots. Neoprene with hard sole, ankle support and zip up fitting. We were having a discussion with Wayne Haslau, a guide for many years at Alphonse, and he prefers these dive boots to any Simms or any other name brand flats boots. He told us he barely managed to get flats boots to last a season whilst his dive boots lasted at least 3 seasons and cost R 400 at a dive shop in PE.
Makes you think. These guys are out on the flats every day for 6 months a year, at least and know what they're talking about.
As an aside, I have a pair of cheapy neoprene boots of similar description that I bought at Suburban years ago. I have used these at the Breede and Stilbaai in the past and they performed fine. No way they got "sucked" off my feet.
I think the learned experts on this site are confusing neoprene socks or sock type surfing booties with dive boots.
proper split toe rubber sole surf booties are notoriously difficult to get off your feet after a surf. I'm just wondering how the grip will be, the last time i went unprepared I fell on my ass on those rocks, had a sulk and didn't catch any fish. I would would have certainly preferred a suck off on the mud banks that day.
