Review on πŸ‘£ Cressi Tall Neoprene Boots for Snorkeling, Scuba Diving, Canyoning - Isla: Italian-designed in 5 & 7 mm Neoprene by Tony York

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Finally a boot that fits perfectly.

I have Cressi open back fins and it was very difficult for me to find the right boot that fits the cavity of the fin, doesn't interfere with the deployment of the fin on the exit ladder and most importantly one that stands still cozy and comfortable. I'm a true size 12 (and maybe even a bit on the side 12+) and ordered the appropriate size inside the boot. Fits perfectly. The zipper is of high quality and the sole seems sturdy enough to withstand the sanding of the water at the beach with boots and the walk to the boot dock. I went with 7mm and saw that the boot is still very light. The boot is made of excellent material (minimum 7mm thick) and the stitching looks premium. I only dive about 15 times a year and that's in the Caribbean where the water temperature is very high. However, a 7mm boot is required for double dives (at least to keep your feet warm). The boots are very easy to put on as the zipper opens well enough for a large foot like mine to slip into the boot with ease. However, there is no difficulty/suction when I unzip the boot to take it off. The boot is just super comfortable and has an integrated hem at the back above the heel that fits perfectly with the heel strap of my Cressi fin and holds the fin in place very well. I highly recommend this boot for the excellent workmanship, solid zipper, easy on and off, fit with Cressi fins and I can't fault the price at all. Buy this boot, 5mm or 7mm. This is a great product.

Pros
  • Integrated fin strap holder.
Cons
  • Running speed
