XCEL6.5mm ThermoFlex Flex TDC Sole Dive Boots

Good, comfortable boot. Thin sole provides durability and at least some protection from sharp rocks without sacrificing feel. I use these for riverboarding, not diving. Hold up much better than surf boots for walking on rocks or gravel while still giving a similar fit. If you want a close fit, size down. I normally wear a 10 in Xcel boots but these were too loose. Sent back for a 9 and they are perfect. Customer service was great. No problems whatsoever with the exchange.

Bought these for my wife to replace an older pair. She loves them so much she wouldn't left me buy anything else. They are well built and comfortable. Her last pair are still dive-able but are starting to fail. They are about 15 years old and she does 10-15 dives a year. The only drawback to the softer sole is you can feel the rocks if you are shore diving like in Bonaire. She won't wear them there.

I do not see how a boot could be made better. It's awesome to never have cold feet. A+++
