Manera Booties?
- Thread starter jkb
- Start date
Just noticed they only have half sizes in 9's. No 10 half sizes.
I think I'd be most comfortable in a 10.5 but I bet an 11 would be too big.

Double sesh in the 4-3
Very warm and stretchy and the silky feel is quite nice . Fleece liner does nothing that I could feel in the way of more heat retention .
Arm length better than xcell
The funky ankle opening is easy on and off and no water intrusion
Stocked!

Epic! Thanks for the extra $kick$, stoked it worked out like it did and good to finally meet in person.
Is it just me or does Buell have the longest arms ever?
I tried one of their l/s springsuits on and the arms seemed to be designed for an orangutang.

I have been wearing the vans five mill booties that I got last year for 40 bucks and they feel amazing! Nice and warm and not too thick.
Those things are just too loud looking.
I'd need to be the hottest surfer in the water to pull those things off.

I agree.
I was considering them before the Maneras but they were sold out in my size. If I did get a pair, I would just sharpie the white part. No more bling.
I used my 3mm Maneras today for the first time.
They were terrible.
a) My entry was a rock jump off. The only part of my booties that touched the water were the toes...and water came in, instantly. Not just one bootie, but both.
It didn't slowly seep in, it was more like it just came straight in.
b) They're not warm. Let's put it this way. I usually don't put on booties until I get a very brief ice cream headache when first paddling out. I know if I get that ice cream headache my feet are gonna be cold without boots. That usually happens around 56-57 degrees.
That didn't happen today. The water was not that cold. The wind was blowing pretty hard at the point where I surfed, my feet got a little chilly in the AM when I was barefoot. So they got their first run on my 2nd session in the afternoon.
Well, my feet sure as hell weren't warm - they felt cold while I was toasty in my 4/3. Of course, how warm can you expect to be in a boot full of water?
And by cold, I mean my feet felt like if the water temp dropped a degree I would need booties...despite the fact I already had booties on.
The only thing good I can say about them is they're easier than most booties to get on and off. Other than that, a waste of money when there are other products for cheaper that would actually do the job.
Do not buy these.
