As is the case with all dive boots you need to pick a size smaller than your actual shoe size. They keep my feet nice an comfortable, they eliminate the annoying rubbing you get on the side of your feet with fins alone. The zipper never came unzipped.

I was suspicious of the price, but this was really a good buy and a good boot. Having written that, I read all the reviews and some said that the sizing was too big (if you wear a 12, order an 11) as well as comments that the sizing was right. I agree with the former: order one size smaller than normal or plan on wearing a pair of booties underneath.

This is a standard boot for diving. It's not made for jogging, biking, etc. That's why it seems a little bit loose at the top of the foot, at least for me. In the water, it's very comfortable and has no problems. Also, on land, it can come unzipped sometimes when you walk around. I think you have to roll your pants over the boots, not the other way.

I'm definitely not a cold-water diver. However, to prepare for my IDC in February, I needed to get some cold-water diving in here in SW Texas. Water temps were 50 deg at 40ffw. I marked that the Blue Reef boots felt about a half-size too big, but it wasn't uncomfortable. In fact, since 5mm is really not thick enough for 50 deg water, there's just enough extra room in the boots to add dive socks for addes warmth. These boots worked very well with my Waterproof Lynx 5mm full suit.

These are nice inexpensive hard soled boots, just right for shore diving. I can't wait to try them in Bonaire in a couple of weeks. As they are a little narrower than my old Harvey 7mm Titaniums, I'm hoping to have a little easier time getting my Appollo Bio Fins on and off.

Used this boot in warm water but others were cool. Boot fit well and was good for walking on shore. Only addition that would be nice is a velcro enclosure to help keep the zipper up and closed. One boot did unzip a couple times under water.
