O'NEILL Superfreak Tropical ST Boot

I used these for a week in Roatan.Fantastic booties.Used with Apallo Bio Fins.No chafing or sore spotsVery comfortable to walk in

I wear O’Niell boots in all thicknesses. These I use for kayaking, SUP, and surfing. They are true to size and as well fitting as my others and I’m a little wide (DD). The round toes are wider too. A great all around water shoe for function, not fashion.

Oneill has been building high quality wet suits and booties for years....these are the best out there.....look no further....

they stayed put on my feet and i was skeptical because other water shoes filled w water or slipped off. these never slipped off while surfing or when I went river walking ...... also never filled with water. grip is perfect. all around awesome water shoe, but still felt good on dry land too. I seriously recommend. size fit normal to shoe size for me, but since I bought them to surf I wear a 11.5 men's shoe I bought these in a 11 instead of 12 cause wanted snug to surf and not slip off and they fit perfect

I wear 11.5 size Nike and the 11 size O'Neill fits just right except that i have freakishly large big toes (1-3/8" wide). My big toes get squeezed uncomfortably at the sides. Fit and finish seems to be of good quality. wish the anke part was higher to protect the upper half of my ankles from the reef.

First thing, don't let the "boot" in the name fool you. Know what you're buying: they're basically a slipper sock version of neoprene wear, intended to keep your feet from slipping on the board and keeping them warm. The split toe greatly aids in balance for board sports. So if you paddle board, surf in cooler waters, it's absolutely worth it! I found the traction to be superior with these on vs bare feet.Here's what you're NOT buying: they're not a water shoe, or any other kind of shoe replacement. Again, think slipper socks: if you step on a sharp rock, you will feel a sharp rock. If you step on hot pavement, you will feel hot pavement. You get the picture.Finally sizing: I normally wear size 11 street shoe but would fit into 10.5. I bought these in 11 since they don't come in 1/2 and feel they're true to size. All neoprene wear should fit tight, luckily Velcro + bungee closure makes this easy on these.

I wore out a pair of these over the past few years of hard/frequent use. I immediately ordered another. They fit well and provide just enough protection without ruining your feel for the board.

If you like a minimalist booty, these are for you. Very thin and light, closets thing to barefooting, to maintain the feel of the board under you feet. The soles last 3 seasons for me. I wished they lasted longer, but that is the trade off for a thin bootie.
