Brand: Seasoft

Located in: Exposure Protection, Boots

Seasoft introduced the SEASOFT Stealth boot more than 6 years ago and have continued to innovate and refine what has become a classic. Most branches of the US military, fire and law enforcement agencies around the world continue to use the SEASOFT Stealth boot as the best boot for military and rescue operations. Seasoft uses high quality neoprene and 2 layers of TITANIUM FLAKE FOIL to ensure heat retention and toughness. They feature a fin guard, zipper keeper, and a toe cap. Our customers and leading dive magazines describe them as the best diving boots ever made. A typical diver supports significant weight before entering the water. An elevated heel and arch support are crucial to providing adequate support to carry your tank, weights, BCD, and everything else that goes with it. This weight typically exceeds 100 lbs., so good footwear is very important! A flat bottom bootie puts the center of gravity on the heel. SEASOFT Boots elevate the heel so that the center of gravity is where it should be on the balls of your feet and toes. This position maintains balance and control. Better control means a safer diver the hallmark of SEASOFT products.

Comments about Seasoft SEASOFT Stealth boot:

This is the second pair of Seasoft Stealths that I've bought.

I have size 14 feet and these fit a little bit small. Given that the advertised size is 13-14, I guess that's fair.

Despite the size issue, I came back to the Seasoft Stealth because I couldn't find its features in another sufficiently large boot. They are very warm and I like the toe cap, arch, and rigid sole for scrambling down to difficult entries. The fin guard is also a nice touch.

Comments about Seasoft SEASOFT Stealth boot:

I think they are great boots and have used for 4 seasons, 300+ dives. They show little real wear, though the rubber covering the front half of the boot is starting to detach. More cosmetic that anything else, and easily repaired. These boots are tough, really tough, and the ridge on the back heels is great for keeping the fin strap or steel springs in place. Would rate as perfect, if not for the following problem.

I have a large foot and wear the largest size boot. With my Mares Avanti Quattro fins, it's always been a snug fit. Have never been able to get my boot in as far as I wanted, and extremely difficult to remove in the water at the end of the dive. Of course, no worry of losing fins with a broken strap. [Other boots were never a problem.]

They will not fit into my new Atomic fins at all, though the opening width seems no different. Interior cut must be slightly different. Both these fins are pretty wide, so I think anyone buying the 2X-large is likely to have problems. I'm going to keep the Atomic fins and get a different brand boots. It's an easier solution that trying to find bigger fin pockets.

Comments about Seasoft SEASOFT Stealth boot:

Got for sister as gift - says it is the best boot she has ever worn and won't wear any other kind going forward! Especially loves the arch support and non-skid bottoms. During last dive, she was the only one able to keep a firm footing on rocks. Fantastic!

Comments about Seasoft SEASOFT Stealth boot:

I have had these boots for about 2 years now and love them! I like that they are built like athletic shoes with good arch support and rugged soles. I bought them to replace my tropical booties that had no structure to them whatsoever and felt like they could easily be punctured by a sharp rock or coral. I did have to exchange them, as the size I bought was not right, but I can't remember whether they were too big or too small (sorry - it's been 2 years! :o). I use these booties almost all of the time. I've used them in 64 degree water and 80 degree water. I've put about 150 dives on them, and they have held up well. They are a great all around boot.

The main drawback is that they didn't fit my existing fins - the added bulk of the athletic sole was too big for the fin pocket. So, when I wear these boots I use my husband's fins, as they are a size larger, and he bought new fins (didn't have to twist his arm very hard - who doesn't want an excuse to buy more gear? :o)

Comments about Seasoft SEASOFT Stealth boot:

I really these although we do a lot of lake diving and climbing on the banks with rocks is treacherous in these booties. They have a coating on the inside to make them easy on/off which also makes your foot slide around alot. Feel my footing is not good on the rocky slopes. I am going to try to put some type of insole inside these as they are well built and I am happy with these other than this issue.

Not a Good Fit

Comments about Seasoft SEASOFT Stealth boot:

I normally wear a women's 5 1/2 to 6 and ordered the XXXS size, which was still too large; however, after zipping up the boot, it fit so tight on my calf that it would have cut my circulation off in that area. Not a good fit for me.

Comments about Seasoft SEASOFT Stealth boot:

I am fairly new to diving and these are my first booties, but I would not use any other boot. I had tried a few on in the store and they were not half as comfortable as these. I've used them in 40F water and they were extremely warm. When wearing a wet suit I had NO water movement.

Very nice boot. I first dove them with a 7/6. Found myself with feet being way too buoyant. Now use ankle weights with them.

Comments about Seasoft SEASOFT Stealth boot:

I have limited experience with dive boots, but these almost feel like wearing normal shoes. The angle really does help with balance, and the craftsmanship seems excellent. I can see why these are called the best dive boots made. I will be buying the shorter/lighter version for my warm water expeditions.

Comments about Seasoft SEASOFT Stealth boot:

The previous soft sole boots I had were too loose in my fins, that made finning quite inefficient because of the poor distribution of kicking effort, and I got cramps all the time. These Stealth boots filled the gaps up and for the first time, I was in control when swimming around in my fins. They lived up to the much anticipated hype.

The best purchase of the year

Comments about Seasoft SEASOFT Stealth boot:

WE use it for shore dives. Stealth is great on the rocks, fully supports foot and keeps feet very warm during long dives. It felt a bit small initially but after three dives it setled and became very comfortable. It is so well constructed that we find our leg muscles tire much less. Overall this is a great purchase and we would recommend it to anyone who wants greater leg support and safety.

"Rock" Solid

Cold Water, Professional, Rough terrain

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Seasoft SEASOFT Stealth boot:

Great for shore diving, I use them while inspecting bridges in fast moving water with rock bottoms where sure-footedness is a must. Good arch support. The grooved surface on the top of the boot prevents fin suction. The fin strap retainer and velcro zipper strap are useful features. I've been beating these boots up for two years with only minor wear. Worth the price.

These are really nice boots when you're on rough terrain. The bottom is sturdy but not rigid. Unfortunately the beefiness of the boot made it not fit into any of my fins so I had to return them. [...]
