I could go sans booties on a longboard or a longer board that is cruisy

But in cranking surf or waves lending to sick shredz i need to have full functional feet.
Are you annoyed that they leak some water in or is it enough that it is causing problems when surfing or making your feet cold?

good luck finding boots. I ripped my quick neogoo butter boots the other day right after I repaired the one that already had a tear. Footsies were cold on the long walks.

Everyone is pretty much tapped in normal human sized boots and I ended up with another pair of quicks.

Ask and you shall receive, the erbb delivers with a lightly pair of used xcels. Going to return my maneras, the bathtub test was not promising. The material between the toes appears to be much more like a mesh than neoprene. I don't think regular neoprene between the toes is an issue.

Ha ha, I guess. LIke I said, only I could find this pair unfortunately.

Had a quick suit once, super comfortable but fell apart fast than a wetsuit made of toilet paper

The boots end up filling with water and because the toes area leaks there is a "cold toes" effect. If you're going to be sitting in the lineup in temps they were designed for (mid 50s) your feet are probably gonna be too cold.

For a $30 boot I'd expect it. For a $70 boot? No.

Probably dropping in on you, California
If anyone gets a lead on size 10 3mm booties in SD slide into my dm’s. Drove up to OC for work and called every shop I could think of. No normal adult sized booties to be had
been trying to find the ripcurl 3mm flash bombs in 12 too.. no dice. Been using a pair of 5mm i bought a couople years ago by mistake. After 10 or sessions - im finally getting used to them but that extra 2mm is noticeable and unnecessary for sure.
