Xcel 5mm Drylock Celliant Split Toe Neoprene Bootie Reviews

11/5/2019 I'm a woman who prefers this men's bootie

By Mo

I have longer narrow feet [OPENBRK]Size 9 women's[CLOSEBRK]. Some women's booties are just too wide. I first tried the men's Xcel bootie years ago when a guy donated his used ones to me because they were a little too snug for him [OPENBRK]this probably means it runs small[CLOSEBRK], but they just happened to fit me pretty well. So when they were just too old I sought out replacements. I upgraded to 5mm from my original 3mms, because my feet tend to get cold easily, and I also had issues finding 5mm dive booties that weren't too bulky/loose on my feet. These have been a success at least in diving in 64 deg temp water for up to an hour. I haven't tried surfing in them yet but don't anticipate any issues, because with the drylock they seem much snugger[OPENBRK]in the best way[CLOSEBRK] and better at preventing water from seeping in and out too freely as even my previous [OPENBRK]non drylock style[CLOSEBRK] booties had a little.

Got a great deal on these thanks to swimoutlet.com. They keep water out and your feet warm. The split toe is comfortable and I like that it's still connected by the sole. They're really flexible too. To me, they're a little on the small side. I normally wear a 10.5 shoe, ordered an 11, and my feet fully fill them end to end. Thankfully, they don't cramp my toes though.

True to fit, tough and thick sole and toasty warm. Highly recommend the Drylock series boot.
