Bought this for my girlfriend as a gift. I wish there was a size chart for Men sizes vs Women sizes. I found a comparison chart on the internet so I could buy the right size for her and got lucky. Perfect fit!!! Just remember, these are listed in men's sizes. GREAT BOOTS!!

One of the best 6mm boots on a market!
Warm, comfortable, heavy duty and nice design!
Huge velcro is always keep a zipper in place during the dive! This boots made with peace of mind ????
The Apex XT 6mm Titanium Lined Nylon 2 Neoprene Boot is a premium boot that features a sturdy rugged high traction sole that is strong enough to resist punctures from rocks, shells, and even glass. The sole has a low profile to enhance comfort and fit into any fin foot pocket on the market. The heel and toe caps are extremely strong and will protect the boot from wear and tear by the fin foot pocket. A heel lug will not allow fin strap slippage when fining.
Designed for cold water diving, with its gusseted #10-YKK locking zipper and hook and loop zipper flap to keep cold water out-and-away from ankle and seals the top of the boot keeping the zipper up. All the boots seams are glued and flat-lock stitched for strength and durability. Boot has a foxing strap over instep that provides tremendous lateral support, even when wet! Boots is black and gray in color and is available in multiple sizes.

Yes, these will fit into all fin pockets as long as you have the correct size fin.
BOB G
I assume they will. I dive with Mares Avanti Quattro Plus and they fit just fine. I will warn you that the edges of the boot, where there is glue, will turn an unattractive yellowish brown.
MARK H
Yes, but I'll be specific and say all open fin pockets (fins with straps) as opposed to fins that have pockets that enclose the entire foot. These boots are designed for open pocket fins only.
FELIX B
I would say Yes, there a thicker boots out there.
EDWARD K
Yes I have used them with many different fins and there great
BOB T
When you buy your fins select the size to fit your boots. It all depends on the boot. Fin pocket sizes are pretty standard, but if you are on the border between fin sizes a 3mm boot may fit in a medium fin pocket but if you go to a 6mm boot may not fit in a medium fin pocket.

Is the sole of this boot considered a "hard sole"?
Steve S
No, this boot is a soft sole boot.
BARRY B
NO. THIS IS A MEDIUM SOLE BOOT. IT WEARS GOOD WALKING IN GRAVEL PARKING LOTS AND ON SHELLS OR ROCKS..... BUT IT FITS YOUR FINS FOOT POCKET BETTER THAN A HARD SOLE........ A HARD SOLE NORMALLY TAKES A BIGGER FOOT POCKET THAN A SOFT OR MEDIUM SOLE BOOT, OR IT WILL FEEL LIKE IT STICKS OUT OF THE FIN TOO FAR.......
CLARENCE B
Although thicker than a thin boat shoe only, I do not consider the sole on this boot as being a hard sole. The boots fit well in each of the various fin pockets I own or have tried.. Mares, Sherwood, Aeris, Atomic, etc. of same or equivalent size.
FELIX B
It's resistant against puncture and solid however very flexible and not hard
BOB T
This boot is not a hard sole.

which is the height extent for the boot?
ALICIA C
I'm afraid I can't tell you alot about it, but as I recall when I tried them on they came a bit above my ankle and were pretty comfy. I haven't actually used them yet because they are for a cruise where we'll actually do some snorkeling.

The boot comes up approximately 4 inches from my ankle. I hope that answers your question. I owned a pair before and wore them out over about a 4 year period. I love these boots!
PATRICK B
Mine (men's 10) are 8" high, so they extend approximately 2" above the ankle.
VICKY M
Barely about 2 in above the ankle bone

Hi, Mine (size 13) measure 9 inches from sole bottom to the top of the ankle rim, 10 inches to the back tab.

Just past the ankle, i live in hawaii and this boot works alright ,but if you intend to use in cold water? Or are looking into something for heavy usage? I would look into something with a better zipper/Velcro setup. This one diddnt last long before coming apart. (Maybe 20 dives before it just diddnt stay closed at all anymore)
MATTHEW B
This boot goes up about 6 inches from the heal and is a pretty tall boot. Perfect for using with wetsuits with and with out zippers on the ankles of the wet suit
