CRESSINeoprene Adult Anti-Slip Sole Boots - for Water Sports: Scuba Diving, Snorkeling, Diving, Rafting, Windsurfing

Update: After about 2 weeks, the rubber on top that covers the toe started to separate from the neoprene. At one point on the inner side, there is a boot stress point that becomes evident as it flexes in movement. I returned the boot to Amazon for a replacement. The new boot appears to have less neoprene material in the boot stress point area providing a more snug fit and less flexing. I hope this keeps the rubber from separating from the neoprene. The first boot may have just not been glued correctly. I still love this boot immensely and think the component quality/build are superior.===================================================================================================Luv, luv, luv my little ninja boots. I was looking for a minimalist shoe that wasn't extremely expensive, poorly designed or low quality. That has been my experience to date with this niche. I use this boot daily for trail walking on mixed dirt, gravel and brick trail sections. I also use it for practicing Tai-Chi and martial arts. Even though this is a cheap Chinese manufactured product, the quality of this boot can't be emphasized enough. I would put it in league with my very expensive Italian footwear. These boots are so comfortable on my feet. I had a pair of Teva water shoes before that were cumbersome to put on, bound my ankles and the rubber sole cracked. The design of this boot does not bind your ankle yet you will never have to worry about the zippered over the ankle neoprene slipping off. The neoprene gently hugs your ankle and leg. The rubber sole covers all the areas it needs to and is extremely flexible. The areas that frequently come in contact with objects above the ribbed rubber sole are covered with a tough rubber that works well. The sole rubber is very sticky. The sole is thick enough to ensure medium sized gravel will not hurt your feet. Larger size rocks will of course make themselves known since the rubber is very flexible. These boots are incredibly easy to clean. I just spray them off outside whenever I return home--mud gone and my feet are dry. I then use them inside for my exercises like stretching, yoga and Tai-Chi. I really don't want to ever take them off. The zipper allows for easy on and off. The zipper is very large and heavy duty. It will not auto unzip with heavy use.I want to add to the sizing info. My foot size is 10.5 U.S. I read in a review that the boot size 10 is a "snug" fit for a 10.5 foot. That is accurate. However, you cannot walk in the size 10 without binding your toes and impeding a smooth gait. You can get them on but you will not have enough room to comfortably cover any distance in them. Boot size 11 is a little less snug about the middle of the foot but the heel and toe are just the right fit to allow proper use of the boot. You can wear an average sock inside the 11 shoe size with a 10.5 foot. If you are a foot size 10, the 11 shoe size would be too big. Boot size 10 shoe would fit perfectly without a sock on a size 10 foot.

I bought these for use in my open water scuba certification. They fit well. They have a stub in the back to keep your fins on. They worked well with my fins. They were light weight but with a solid bottom for footing. They were comfortable. Well worth the money and should last for a long time.

Product as described. Nice tight fit. Purchased men’s 7/womens 8.Good grip and thick sole.

I've worn these on over 25 dives and love these! Great grip, quality seems and zippers. Only reason that I'm giving 4/5 is that you may experience some rubbing or blisters. I recommend getting a pair of water socks to wear under these.

My son swims in the Gulf of Mexico nearly year-round with his wetsuit, previously without boots or gloves. This February I decided to get some of these boots for a trip. He loves them. They were so reasonably priced I wasn't sure if they would not be well-made. They definitely extended the time he spends in the water, and protects from shells and debris, the bottoms are very thick, grippy, and sturdy. This was our experience, so everyone should be careful, but at one moment he lifted his leg out of the water and there was a jellyfish around his ankle and foot, encased in his wetsuit and these boots. No stings. His pair was a little too snug, so I plan on buying a size larger than his usual shoe size.

Soft and fit perfect.

I wear a 14 mens(US) and have to buy wide shoes. These feet my feet just fine without any noticeable pressure points or hot spots. There’s even a little room to spare and they also don’t fit too tight around the ankles. If you have large wide feet and need a pair of inexpensive dive boots you’ll probably be fine with these

Great dive fin shoes.

Son excelentes

Used for a 2-week kayaking expedition on Vancouver Island. They kept my feet warm and held up well even with the sharp barnacles/rocks I encountered. Size up to accommodate neoprene socks. I also love the grip on the sole and the zipper. Simply the best!

Good quality and size fitting for the value

Great for ocean paddleboarding

This review is for the Cressi Minorca Long, Black/Black, US Man 9 Boots!They rock! I use them for windsurfing and paddleboarding in Atlantic Canada. They are plenty warm enough that I was able to go out waist deep in May. Air temperature about 15 degrees C, water somewhere between 8-12 degrees C (estimated). Didn't even feel cold!The soles are sturdy rubber and hold up to walking to and from the beach on pavement. They also did not do any damage to my EVA deck like other reviewers said might happen. The reinforced toe is great for avoiding damage and injury in the rocks and seaweed, especially if you fall in a lot like me!I wear a 9-10 US mens shoe. MY loose skate shoes are a 10. I ordered a 9 in these and they fit perfectly.They aren't waterproof. They are neoprene like a wetsuit. The water inside them warms up and insulates you from the environment. I tuck the bottom of my wetsuit over them and it works well.
