Collection: Wetsuit Boots

Q: What boot thickness should I choose?

3mm for warmer water and summer, 5mm for versatile fall/spring use in colder regions, and 7mm for maximum warmth in icy winter sessions.

Q: Which sole style is best for me?

Thinner soles provide better board feel and flexibility; thicker soles add durability and protection—ideal for rocky coastlines like Oregon.

Q: Should I get split-toe or round-toe boots?

Split-toe improves control by preventing foot slip inside the boot; round-toe is warmer and easier to put on, great for winter use.

Q: How should wetsuit boots fit?

They should feel snug without cutting off circulation. Loose boots allow flushing, which makes feet cold quickly.

Q: How do I care for my wetsuit boots?

Rinse with fresh water after each session, dry in the shade out of direct sun, and store flat to keep neoprene flexible.

🧭 Buying Guide: How to Choose the Right Wetsuit Boots

🔹 1. Pick the Right Thickness

3mm boots → Best for warmer waters or summer surf.
5mm boots → A versatile choice for fall and spring in colder regions.
7mm boots → Maximum warmth for icy winter sessions in the Pacific Northwest.

👉 Rule of thumb: Colder water = thicker neoprene.

🔹 2. Choose Your Sole Style

Thin soles → Better board feel and flexibility.
Thicker soles → More durability and protection on rocky or reef breaks.

👉 If you’re surfing Oregon’s rocky coastline, go thicker.

🔹 3. Entry Styles: Strap, Split-Toe, or Round-Toe

Strapless boots → Lightweight and minimalist.
Split-toe boots → Prevent slipping inside the boot, giving more control.
Round-toe boots → Warmer and easier to put on, great for winter.

🔹 4. Fit and Comfort

A snug fit is key. Wetsuit boots should feel tight without cutting off circulation. Loose boots let water flush in and out, making your feet cold fast.

🔹 5. Care Tips for Longer Life

Rinse with fresh water after every surf.
Dry in the shade — avoid direct sunlight.
Store flat, not folded, to keep neoprene flexible.

✅ Pro Tip from Seaside Crew: Our staff surfs year-round in Oregon waters. For the coldest months, we recommend 5mm or 7mm boots with a round-toe design for the best warmth-to-performance balance.
