Brand: Henderson
Located in: Exposure Protection, Boots
A great boot begins with the sole, and Henderson's Insta Dry features a low-profile sole that slips easily into the foot pockets of standard-size fins. They also boast a cushioned heel and deliver good lateral stability. Up top, theheavy-duty, non-corrosive zipper features an equally sturdy zipper lock, so it won't slide down during the dive.

Inside, Insta Dry's anti-microbial interior wards off bacterial growth, keeping your footwear smelling fresh, boot is made from 3mm neoprene with W.E.B. Water Entry Barrier for added warmth and comfort and has glued and sewn seams.

Comments about Henderson Henderson Insta Dry 3mm Boots:

Starting to fall apart on my second dive trip. Had these less than a year. Both zippers have torn off at the bottom. Rip along seam on left boot. Not very durable for less than 30 dives.
I have older boots that I have used for 5+ years that are in better shape than these.

Comments about Henderson Henderson Insta Dry 3mm Boots:

These boots do indeed dry very quickly, which is great. However, my boots were of very low quality. I had to re-glue the seams on one boot after just four dives, and a hole tore in the other boot (at the bottom of the zipper) after only the 10th or 12th dive. Also, the boots don't go high enough up the ankle to stay tucked into the legs of a full-length Henderson wetsuit, which was a little annoying at times.

The boots were also a little uncomfortable on my feet, but in fairness, that might've been more of a sizing issue than an issue with the boots themselves.

Comments about Henderson Henderson Insta Dry 3mm Boots:

One of the more comfortable boots I have worn, but after about 3 months, I noticed they started falling apart. I do about 80-90 dives a year and these boots will not make it two years. All the plastic seams on the boat are starting to separate and the Velcro on top of the zipper is starting to fall off.

I will not buy again nor recommend.

 
seals are not very durable

Comments about Henderson Henderson Insta Dry 3mm Boots:

It's a good shoe - perfect for travel. It's light and dries very quickly.

The down-side is that the seals don't seem to last very long on my booties. I've had them for less than 2 years, and the sole is already tearing loose from the boot (both sides).

Due to the poor durability, this is an overly expensive boot.

Great boot.. Dries in 1/10th the time as a conventional neoprene boot. Great support and nice heel and toe support. Great add to your Insta-Dry Wetsuit.

Comments about Henderson Henderson Insta Dry 3mm Boots:

I have been wearing an Insta-Dry 3 mil a good year and a half. It was time to get the boots to match. They are fantastic! Great on trips where multiple dives will take place within the same 24 hours.

Comments about Henderson Henderson Insta Dry 3mm Boots:

Great boots from Henderson. Sizing is true to real life; but if you're a half size larger try the size right below it.

The Insta-Dry really works; these boots dry out within 20-30 minutes or so. Even if they don't get completely dry, they get much less wet and retain less water than other boots.

It has a real solid bottom that makes it wasy to get around the dive boat or the beach The zipper is a solid high quality one, and has a velcro strap to secure the whole thing.

My only con is the rubber accents on the boot, while looking cool, may cause a slightly annoying feeling with certain fins. Try them on with your fins before you buy.

Also, the zippers can and do get sand in them, but every boot with a zipper has that problem.

Overall, I recommend this boot!

Comments about Henderson Henderson Insta Dry 3mm Boots:

Good lightweight boot that is perfect for boat diving. The Insta Dry material conforms nicely to your feet, making it comfortable and nice to wear. I would not recommend this boot for shore diving, or where you need something with more support.
