Would order them again in a heartbeat. Both my wife and I use them and I've had mine for many years and lots of dives and they are holding up well...

I really like these boots. They look sharp, are well built and it feels like you're wearing regular walking boots. The heel tab is also nice to keep your fin strap from riding up. I haven't dove with them in cold water yet, but they're really warm so adding a fin sock would probably be enough to keep you comfortable in colder conditions.
Definitely make sure that you go a size down as these run large. I wear a Men's 8-8.5 and the 7 fits me well. I have the 2MM Mares Equator boot as well and ...knew from experience that theirs run big.
Also, the sole on these are pretty thick so if you already have a snug fit with regular booties then these might not fit all the way into your fins.
The Mares Trilastic 6.5mm Dive Boot is a robust cold water boot that will give you years of reliable service. This beefy built dive boot has a comfortable hard sole, engineered to give the highest control and power transmission during fining action. The neoprene around the ankle area is made from a super-elastic material. The lower section of the boots neoprene is standard, ensuring warmth and adherence. The entire boots neoprene is durable nylon 2 material and the boot has a hard rubber sure grip sole.
The complete front and the heel are reinforced with vulcanized rubber to protect this high wear area. The heel of the boot comes with a fin strap lug to keep your fin straps from shifting while in the water. The strong and durable zipper entry allows easy donning and doffing and the zipper dam prevents water seepage through the slide fastener. All seams are glued and sewn for strength and durability and the boots top edge is taped and sewn for the same. Boots are available in multiple sizes, and are black in color.
This product can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Will these fit inside the Hollis F1 pockets?

thicker sole boots require more room that thin sole boots. if you are not at the limit of sizing range on your F1 with thin soles it should be ok. The f1, like most more tech diving fins, usually have generous foot pockets to account for drysuit boots.

No clue about Hollis F1 fins. I wore these with my ScubaPro Gorilla Fins during Galápagos expedition. Fit perfectly and had no issues.

I wear a US women's 7.5. Which size should I order? What's the difference between these and the Mares Flexa DS boots?
Mario C
size 6. the ds has a little less sole material.

Do these boots run small, large, or true to size?

Some people have found them to run a little on the small side.

Why Did You Choose This?

I’ve used these boots for the last several years as a commercial diver. They keep my feet warm, are durable with tough soles, and usually get a couple years per pair. Tried many other boots that fall apart quickly but these have been a favorite. Just really expensive now. I used to get these for $60.

Have the same boots but I've worn them out after 350 dives.
