DESCRIPTION
Leisure Pro Will Match ANY Advertised Price on This Item!

Thousands of divers can attest to the warmth and diver-friendly features of Gold Core. The blend of a high-quality, medium-stretch neoprene, a tough nylon outer layer and a hydrophobic, anti-microbial lining produces an incredibly warm and easy-wearing boot. The best boot money can buy. Made with Henderson's exclusive Gold Core neoprene, this boot will keep you warmer, fit you more comfortably, and keep smelling great even with heavy use. The Gold Zipper Boots feature vulcanized heel and toe caps. Divers appreciate Gold Core from the moment they put it on because donning is faster with its moderate stretch and its super-slick interior. Gold Core allows dive boots to flex freely and takes away the struggle typical of stiff exposure gear. Combined with Gold Core's signature gold lining, boots slide easily over divers' skin. The Gold Core lining has a three-fold benefit when used in dive boots. First, its super-slick, so donning is effortless. Second, its anti-microbial properties make this boot inhospitable to bacterial growth, which puts an end to unpleasant odors. Third, the Gold Core lining provides a great contact surface for your skin, reducing water transfer so your feet stay warmer. The boot's exterior is highly durable and the top is armored with a vulcanized capto absorb friction with dive fins. The Gold Zipper Boot is also outfitted with a durable zip and zipper lock.

    These boots are really nice. My feet wear 7 to 7-1/2 size shoes. Size six fits fine but I have some extra room -- perhaps my feet are too skinny but I wear medium width. Size five was definitely too small. So I marked it as being a half size too large. (I wish we could get boots in half sizes just like shoes.) But that was no problem on my recent Bonaire trip. The soles are nice and sturdy -- what you need for shore diving. I will also be using them for cold water diving. There is room for a 1mm sock inside. Great boot.

    Sole durability is unacceptable

    Boot sole (it is not rubber!!) became brittle and began to crack especially under forefoot (the stress point) after two years of light use. Upper holds up well though.

      Comments about Henderson 5MM Gold Core Zipper Boot:

      I use this on my colder dives. I have a narrow foot and they do not come in various widths, so I wear socks to take up the room in them. This keeps the water from sloshing around.
      Besides being warm these boots have a heavy sole so that when I need to walk on rocky terrain with all my gear on, the sharp rocks do not hurt the soles of my feet.

          Flat, hard sole makes this an excellent choice for beach or rocky shore entries. Good traction but still comfortable in the fin pocket and in the water.
          Usual Henderson excellent construction and build quality.
