I recently purchased the Mares Dry Suit Booties and I must say they’re absolutely fantastic. The design is so sleek and modern, and they fit perfectly on my feet despite having broad feet. My only minor complaint is that they can slip a bit while walking on wet surfaces, but it’s nothing a rubber grip on the bottom couldn’t fix.

What is the best way to clean and maintain the Mares Dry Suit Booties?
Junhao Lo –
To clean the Mares Dry Suit Booties, we recommend using mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently scrub away any dirt or debris with a soft-bristled brush, then rinse thoroughly. For tougher stains, you can use a specialized dive suit cleaning solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the materials. For maintenance, apply a waterproofing treatment to the booties after every use to help repel water and prevent staining. We hope this helps, and if you have any further questions, feel free to ask!.

I’m extremely happy with the comfort and support these booties provide. However, I have to say that they could have included a built-in tow strap for easier transportation.

I wish the Mares Dry Suit Booties came with a more secure fastening system, as the current one can be a bit finicky to adjust. That being said, they still get the job done and keep my feet comfortable.
