Frequently asked questions
What size dive boots should I buy?
Dive boots should fit like a regular shoe — snug enough that your foot does not slide around inside, but not so tight that circulation is restricted. Restricted circulation will make your feet cold much faster than a slightly loose fit. Most boots are sized in whole sizes. If you are between sizes, go up rather than down. Keep in mind that if you are buying open-heel fins to wear with the boots, you will need to size the fins to fit over the boot you will be wearing. Check the fin's sizing guidelines to see what size of fin is recommended.
Can I use dive boots for shore diving in Canada?
Yes — neoprene dive boots are well suited to Canadian shore diving. For cold water diving in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and Maritime provinces, a 5mm or 7mm boot will keep your feet warm during entry, surface intervals, and exit. The hard rubber sole handles rocky shorelines, boat ramps, and uneven terrain. If you are diving in very cold water or doing extended dives, consider layering a thin neoprene sock inside the boot for added warmth. Pair with open-heel scuba fins sized to fit over the boot.
What is the difference between a neoprene sock and a lycra sock?
A neoprene sock is thicker — typically 1.5mm to 3mm — and provides a meaningful amount of thermal insulation in addition to comfort inside a full-foot fin. A lycra sock is very thin, providing no real thermal protection but reducing friction and chafing inside the fin on a long snorkel session. Lycra socks are also popular for preventing blisters when breaking in a new pair of full-foot fins. For cold water, choose neoprene. For tropical conditions where comfort is the only goal, lycra is sufficient and lighter to pack.
How do I care for my dive boots after use?
Rinse thoroughly with clean fresh water after every use — salt and chlorine degrade neoprene and the stitching over time. Turn the boots inside out if possible to rinse the interior as well. Allow them to dry completely — inside and out — before storing. Never pack wet boots into a bag for storage, as this leads to mold and odor. If boots begin to take on a life of their own and develop an odor after extended use, soak them in a diluted neoprene shampoo solution, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. Store out of direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the neoprene.
