Stay warm for longer with our thermal accessories! Each temperature range has its own outfit.

When you’re in the water, more than half your body heat is lost through your extremities (feet, hands, head). To stay warm, consider these accessories: - in water (>17°C) => neoprene socks. - Cold water (12°C–17°C): High-cut booties and gloves. - Cold water (7°C-12°C): High boots, gloves, hood, and hooded top.

Choosing the right boots

The first factor to consider when choosing a surf bootie is water temperature. Water temperature varies depending on the location and time of year. Keep these guidelines in mind: Water above 20°C. Water between 17 and 22°C. Water between 12 and 17°C. Water between 7 and 12°C. Visit seatemperature.org to check sea temperatures around the world.

Choosing a size

Surfing socks should be a very tight fit to ensure the best possible thermal efficiency. Dry gloves should feel like they are too tight when you try them on. Choosing well-fitting socks ensures a better fit and prevents them swelling with water in use.

Materials

The 3 mm surf socks are made of neoprene. The synthetic lining provides added wear resistance. Neoprene thickness: 3 mm. The neoprene is made of an elastomer foam with insulating properties. We test and guarantee the quality of our neoprene materials.

Thin sole

We chose a thin and light polyurethane sole to favour contact and sensations with the board. Therefore, this sock is not suited to long approach walks: in such a case, choose the 3 mm Surf bootie.

Watertight assembly

The seams are stitched and glued to ensure a watertight seal. Blind-stitching technology means the thread does not pierce through the neoprene, ensuring watertightness. The lack of threads on the inside prevents irritation and chafing. Patches are strategically placed in sensitive areas to improve comfort and durability.

Multi-water sports boots

Our surf booties are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. Our design choices also make them compatible with other water sports such as kitesurfing, windsurfing, sea wading or SUP (stand up paddle boarding). These surf socks, however, are not suitable for windsurfing.
