Prolimit Mercury Bootsock Split Toe 3mm GBS

FAQ

For which water sports is the Prolimit Mercury Bootsock Split Toe 3mm GBS suitable?

The Prolimit Mercury Bootsock is a true all-rounder and will accompany you windsurfing, kiting, wing foiling, SUPing, and surfing. Thanks to the non-slip sole and 3 mm neoprene, it is suitable for cooler water and long sessions.

What does the split-toe construction of the Prolimit Mercury Bootsock mean?

In the split-toe design, the big toe is separated from the rest of the foot. This prevents slipping inside the boot, provides more stability on the board, and gives you a more direct feel under your foot.

How warm and how thick is the Prolimit Mercury Bootsock?

The bootsock is made of 3 mm thick neoprene and lined with Airflex 500+ limestone neoprene. This keeps your feet comfortably warm even in cooler water, without adding bulk or restricting freedom of movement.

Are the seams of the Prolimit Mercury Bootsock waterproof?

Yes, the seams are triple-glued and blind-stitched (GBS). This makes them particularly stable and significantly reduces water penetration. This keeps the inside dry and warm for longer.

How does the Prolimit Mercury Bootsock fit in terms of size?

The bootsock is made on an orthopedically checked last and has a rather narrow fit. It is best to choose it one size larger than your normal shoe size so that it fits comfortably and the blood can circulate in the toes.

What sole does the Prolimit Mercury Bootsock have and how is the grip?

The bootsock features the Direct Contact Sole (DCS) with additionally attached rubber pads. This provides a direct barefoot feel on the board and at the same time non-slip grip on wet surfaces.

Is the Prolimit Mercury Bootsock suitable for allergy sufferers?

Yes, the neoprene is hypoallergenic and the gluing is done with water-based glue, which is environmentally friendly and skin-compatible. This makes the bootsock also well suited for sensitive skin.

How do I properly care for the Prolimit Mercury Bootsock?

Rinse the bootsock with clear fresh water after every session, let it dry in the shade, and avoid direct heat or direct sunlight. This keeps the neoprene, glued seams, and sole elastic and functional for a long time.
