Xcel Infiniti Split Toe Reef Boot 1mm

FAQ

What is the Xcel Infiniti Split Toe Reef Boot 1mm designed for?

The Xcel Infiniti Split Toe Reef Boot 1mm is a lightweight neoprene bootie for warm to mild water temperatures and is suitable for surfing, kitesurfing, wing foiling, stand-up paddleboarding, and all areas where the feet need protection from contact with reefs, shells, sand, or the board.

What neoprene thickness does the Reef Boot have, and when is it the right choice?

The bootie has a neoprene thickness of 1 mm and is therefore designed for warm waters and summer at the North and Baltic Seas. It serves primarily as protection against abrasion and slight heat loss, not as a warm boot for cold water.

What special features does the Xcel Infiniti Split Toe Reef Boot 1mm offer?

The bootie features adjustable hook-and-loop ankle straps, a drawstring with a barrel lock for a better seal, higher cuffs to protect the ankles, and a solid sole under the split toe box so that the leash does not get caught on the boot.

What does Split Toe mean on this neoprene boot?

The split toe box separates the big toe from the rest of the foot, providing more feel and control on the board. At the same time, the closed sole under the toe box prevents leashes or sheets from getting caught in an open toe area.

In which sizes is the Xcel Infiniti Split Toe Reef Boot 1mm available?

The Reef Boot is offered in shoe sizes US 6 to US 13, for a total of 8 sizes. This means the bootie can be worn by both smaller and larger feet.

How do you properly care for the 1mm Reef Bootie?

After use in saltwater, you should rinse the bootie with clear freshwater and let it dry in the shade so that the neoprene, hook-and-loop fasteners, and drawstring last a long time. Direct sunlight and heat should be avoided, as they can make the material porous.

Does the Reef Boot fit with an Xcel wetsuit?

The Infiniti Split Toe Reef Boot 1mm is designed for the Xcel Infiniti line and can be easily combined with the Xcel wetsuits, tops, and hoods of the same series. This creates a consistent system of boot, suit, and top that works together in warm conditions.
