Flats booties review
Well, I decided to pick up a pair of these World Wide flats booties the last time I was at BPS. The main reason for picking them up is because the old pair of boots I were using was creating a pinch point on top of my foot on the upstroke. Not to mention they were increasingly uncomfortable during prolonged use, causing foot cramps.
After trying them out yesterday, let me tell you that this is probably the best $20 I've spent (when it comes to tubing anyways). They have a neoprene upper and a hard bottom sole. They zip up on the side which makes it easy to get your foot in and out of as well as a velcro hook and loop closure on top to keep sand from getting in. It even has a raised part on the back to ensure your fins don't slip off. They're light, comfortable, and kept my feet safe when walking on sand, rocks, and that hot pavement. The only drawback I found was that it doesn't have enough traction for walking on wet rocks. Then again, I don't plan on launching from or landing on rip rap anytime soon.
