Can these be used for surfing booties? Do they have the same amount of traction as a traditional surf boot? Only ask b/c I am a size 15 or 16.

Hi Ken: I'm not a surfer, but they were very skid resistant when walking on wet decks and metal plates when we were on small boats. They do get a little getting-used-to with the water sloshing around your feet inside the boot, but they were very comfortable to wear. Randy

I bought them to wear snowboarding. They are amazingly well built maybe even for iceskating. They are, however, VERY rigid so they may be too stiff for certain movements. Keep in mind that size M would MAYBE fit a young teen.

They aren't slippery. They are well-made. I had trouble fitting my elderly dog--her feet are splayed, but she's only medium size & the boots that fit her feet were too large on leg. I had luck with Protex Pawz reusable boots. They are like little balloons that fit on feet. They give protection, traction & are much less expensive. You might check them out.

The boot is sitting in my garage right now....I can tell you, wearing a waterproof over this boot is likely not a good idea. The shape of it is not suitable for a rubber overshoe. I don't think a overshoe worn over this boot will be safe, or helpful to your recovery, as it will really jack your heel hight and gate in comparison to the other foot. That is even if you can get a size sixteen or eighteen rubber overshoe. The width is the real problem. Five inches? The outside measurements of this shoe are large!!! Get a Gor Tex sock and wear that, while letting the boot get wet. If you're doing dairy work, wear a garbage bag over it. Maybe some rest would be a better investment? You only have two ankles. Just my two sense, wanting to help you.

Yes, I have a size 8 and I'm on the lower side of their sizing guide for their medium. My friend on the other end is a sive 10 and also wears the mediums. The rubber is strong yet flexible and really wraps arround the boot. If it helps, I wear lowa renegades and my friend has a pair of vasque boots and ours both fit great. If you read my review you'll see I said the heal slipped a bit but I did have altitude sickness when I put them on and my hands were freezing, so basically is say it was user error on my part. So yes! They are true to size on their guide.

They are not make/model specific. Think of them as shoelaces for your rack; they will work on any shoe, it only depends on how long you need them. These will probably get two surfboards or one SUP.

I wear a women's size 7 shoe. I bought these Grip-Ons to wear on Lands' End All-Weather Mocs, which are quite bulky. I had to go to a Grip-On size L, which is designed for women's sizes 10.5-13! These things are great, by the way!

I don't think they would safely work like gravity boots. The straps are not adjustable and the opening is pretty large. It would also be pretty awkward getting your feet into the straps. Not as simple as just using hooks on gravity boots. Hope this helps.

I am a 9 wide and the heel I keep clipped down as far as it would go, but I use the thinnest booties. A little play is ok if you have boots. They come with plastic inserts (that I don't use often) and that may make up the difference if your feet are smaller than mine. They are great fins though

I was told by my windsurf instructor that the shoes should be snug, so your feet are not slipping and sloshing around, while trying to stay on top of the board. I would think the size 7 would be appropriate for you if you typically wear 7 1/2 shoes if it is for a board sport. BUT check if that sizing is listed in Mens sizing or Womens ! I assumed one listing was in womens sizes, and it turned out to be mens, so it was too big. you would be a 6 in a mens size.

I would say no as they are a tight fit to ski boots where snow board boots are much wider. However I am sure dry guy have other solutions for inside the boot no matter ski or snow board.

Hi, the Ozoboard is a great cross over board - you should get a 9'6 if you are going to do SUP and you can still use it as a surfboard as well. Regards Jeanjean

The bottom will protect your feet, but I find it really hard to swim in booties. AS long as you are not swimming laps, they should be fine.

I don't think so. The straps are limited to the width of a surfboard. You should check out a more versatile soft rack like penguin feet. (Penguin-feet.com). They make racks specifically for paddle boards and can support larger equipment than fcs pads.

I ware a size 13 boot and they fit great. A helper of mine has a size 15 boot and they for him fine. Not sure about the max size.

Likely not. They are intended to be worn snugly so that a rash does not occur while surfing or boogie boarding . If you normally wear a xl or xxl shirt, Ho with a large to have a tight fit ( wetsuit like). There is some sizing discrepancy from skin to skin, as some are made from either different material depending on color choice. Suggest get two or more and see what fits ahead of your water date. If you purchase for ocean use, and buy too big, you will gather sand inside and get that rub rash ( even with just swimming) if for pool use you can go with a size closer to your shirt size ( no sand getting in)...
