I was able to stay warm during my dive thanks to the booties’s excellent insulation. Can I use it in saltwater environments?

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Mares Flexa DS Dive Booties 6.5mm, Ryan. We’re glad to hear they kept your feet warm during your dive. According to the manufacturer’s specification, these booties are designed to be used in saltwater environments. However, we always recommend checking the booties for any signs of damage or wear before each use, especially when diving in harsh saltwater conditions. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask.
Farrah Wong –
The performance was great, but the laces were a bit short for my dive fins. Is this a design flaw or just my fins being too large?
Imran Hanafiah –

I was a bit disappointed that it didn’t have a strap to secure the booties to my feet. Are additional straps available for purchase?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you so much for your review, Katherine. I’m sorry to hear that the Mares Flexa DS Dive Booties 6.5mm didn’t meet your expectations regarding the strap for securing the booties. Unfortunately, additional straps are not available for purchase as a separate item. However, please note that our dive booties are designed to provide a secure fit, and many customers have successfully used them without additional straps.

Muhammad Amir Mohamed –
Will it protect my feet in colder water conditions?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your review, Muhammad! The Mares Flexa DS Dive Booties 6.5mm are designed to provide warmth and protection for your feet in colder water conditions. The 6.5mm thickness offers a good balance between warmth and flexibility. However, it’s essential to note that the booties are not waterproof, but rather provide thermal insulation. You can expect them to perform well in water temperatures around 14°C to 18°C (57°F to 64°F). For colder water conditions, you may consider adding a pair of dive socks underneath for extra warmth. We hope this helps, and if you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!
