Hard sole boots are so much more comfortable with stiff fins, especially fins like Jetfin where half of your feet is outside of the pocket. I had about more than 1000 dives with Mares 5mm soft sole boots. they are fine with Mares quatros, because the foot pocket is soft and the bottom is big. but after switched to my Deep6 fins, the pocket is much more harder with shorter bottom, soft sole just don't have the comfort anymore. so I got myself a Mares 5mm hard sole, Night and day diffrence. Not only it's much more comfortable, my feet doesn't move around in the pocket anymore, and the fins got so much more perception when doing micro adjustment. So highly recommand hard sole with stiff fins. another benefit of hard sole boots, I find they last longer. Mares 5mm soft sole last me about a year(800 dives). the hard sole boots last me a year and half, 1200 dives.

Came to thumbs up the Anakin Skywalker quote whilst researching Dive Boots.

i make sure that my wetsuit is over my boots, i never wear a shorty. i didn't know what the lip on the back of the boot was for. you can also stick your boots in your fins for travel to save space and know where they are when unpacking.

I just run a pair of altama maritime operations shoes, think "tactical" Chuck Taylors 😬

I use two pair of soft sole boots, both the same manufacturer. A 7mm for cold water, a 3mm for warm.

Another tip I'd like is how to best store dive boots to keep their shape. Thanks!

When I fly I normally put my second stages in the boots to protect them from any bumps. 😉

I love my Acona 5MM boots I have used them while both Scuba diving and Snorkeling in 32 degree F to 60 degree F water of Lake Michigan and they always keep my feet toasty !

hi simply scuba team, I enjoy your dive video and hints and advice, hence I came across your web page with dive equipment. now i guess you are pretty busy, but can you please answer the web page inquiries and email inquiries. thanks in advance. especially as one is considering to order items, but need your input for final review prior to order. Thanks thanks, D.

A little sunscreen on your feet will help your feet slip right in tight boots with no zips, and they won’t get sun burnt either ;)

Has anyone had much luck wearing sneakers in their fins? I have Sea wing Novas that are just a tad too big even with a 5mm boot but I live in a tropical area (Vietnam) I was thinking about just trying a pair of Converse/Chuck Taylor's

Sir u have any idea regarding commercial diving any further commercial filled Ple help me
