Rugged but too wide
By JillVerified Reviewer from Mpls, MN on 9/29/2008
Pros:
Durable, Good Value, High Quality
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I liked the comfort and ruggedness of these boots, but the soles were too wide to fit into my Atomic Split Fins.

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.

GREAT QUALITY AT A GREAT PRICE...

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.

Great book. Excellent tread, very durable. The ankle is a bit loose. I purchased a size larger than my shoe size per everyones recommendation about them fitting large. I had to return them for my actual shoe size.

Standard diving boots
By GustavVerified Purchaser from Klamath Falls, OR on 6/12/2008
Sizing:
Feels half size too big
Pros:
Durable, Warm
Cons:
Little Bit Loose Fit
Best Uses:
Cold Water, Recreation, Warm Water, With Adjustable Fins
Describe Yourself:
Recreational Diver

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.

Great boots for snorkeling and scuba. I read the reviews and ordered half a size smaller and they fit perfectly. Very durable and good for walking. The hardened sole might be a bit too wide for some open heel fins, but they are a good and tight fit for mine.

These boots are well made, but unfortunately I ordered my true size based on reviews here. I am a true size 9 and the size 9 of these boots were way big on me. Unfortunately they are out of size 8 for me. I warn you to order a half or whole size smaller than your normal shoe size.

This gear is worn by workers at a Catfish Farm while seining the pond for harvest. It keeps the workers warm, however, if they are not careful, catfish barbs will penetrate the boots.

Blue Reef 5mm boot - good purchase!

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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.
