Great purchase! I was a bit worried about the quality but they exceeded my expectations. The booties have been with me through multiple dives and they still look brand new. Only thing is that the size could be a bit more accurate.
Ariel Wong –
Will this booties be suitable for snorkeling?
Junhao Lo –
Hello Ariel, thank you for your question! Our Mares Flexa DS Booties 5mm are a great choice for diving, but for snorkeling, we recommend opting for a thinner option to provide maximum flexibility. However, if you’re planning to snorkel in colder waters, our 5mm booties might be a good choice to keep your feet warm. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! Also, don’t forget to check out our other customers’ experiences with our dive boots by clicking on the ‘Customer Reviews’ tab.

Do the Mares Flexa DS Booties 5mm provide adequate warmth in colder water temperatures?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Emily! The Mares Flexa DS Booties 5mm are designed to provide warmth in various water temperatures. While they’re not made for extreme cold water diving, they should be sufficient for average scuba diving in colder waters. The 5mm neoprene provides a good level of thermal insulation, but it’s essential to consider other factors like your personal dive technique, wetsuit or diving gear, and water conditions. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know!
Cecilia Yap –
How waterproof are these booties? Can they withstand water pressure at depth?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question about the waterproofness of our Mares Flexa DS Booties 5mm. These booties are designed with a strong focus on comfort and durability, featuring a durable neoprene material and a hard rubber sole for grip. The strong zipper also helps to prevent water entry. While they are well-suited for diving, the booties are not designed to withstand extreme water pressure at great depths. However, they should provide adequate protection for average diving conditions. We recommend checking the manufacturer’s specifications for more detailed information.

Unfortunately, I had to return the Mares Flexa DS Booties 5mm because they ran a bit small. However, they were well-made and the grip on the hard rubber sole is top-notch.
Celeste Lee –
Are the Mares Flexa DS Booties 5mm suitable for a beginner in scuba diving?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for taking the time to review our Mares Flexa DS Booties 5mm! The Flexa DS Booties are designed for divers who want a durable and grippy boot. While they can be used by beginners, we recommend a boot with a softer sole or a more relaxed fit for those who are just starting out in scuba diving. This is because the hard rubber sole on the Flexa DS Booties can be more prone to causing foot cramps or discomfort for divers with less experience. However, many of our customers have reported great success with these boots, so it ultimately comes down to personal preference. If you’re still interested in purchasing these boots, we would recommend trying them on in a store or measuring your foot carefully to ensure the best fit.
Lilian Chew –
Are the booties easy to clean and maintain?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out about the maintenance of our Mares Flexa DS Booties 5mm! Yes, our booties are designed to be easy to clean and maintain. To keep them in good condition, we recommend cleaning them after each dive with mild soap and lukewarm water, then drying them thoroughly. The hard rubber sole can be wiped clean with a soft cloth, and the neoprene material is resistant to mildew and corrosion. Additionally, the strong zipper can be lubricated with silicone spray to prevent sticking. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Katherine Low –
I’m not sure what to expect from these dive boots, can anyone tell me how they compare to other brands?
Junhao Lo –
Hello Katherine, thank you for your honest review. The Mares Flexa DS Booties 5mm are a high-quality choice, known for their durable neoprene and grippy rubber soles. In terms of comparison, Mares is a well-established brand in the scuba diving community, and many divers swear by their products. That being said, the ‘best’ brand can ultimately depend on individual preferences and needs. I’d be happy to help you explore other brands or models if you’d like. Have you considered factors like comfort, flexibility, and weight when comparing dive boots?
