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 would use the same ones I bought, the Ultra Paws Durable Dog Boot. My dog drags his hind paws too which makes the tip of the boots wear down so I bought the shoe goo to help protect them. I hope this helps you out.

I used them snorkeling and paddle boarding. I would think they would grip the board just fine and stay on. Been awhile but I think I ordered size 13 and I'm a 12 and they fit well. Good luck

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 got two pair, one for my wife and one for my daughter ... both sets worked very good for them. since these are a strecth-able bootie, 'i would guess' they would work for any type of foot as long as you got the right size ??? it is not really a 'shoe' for foot support ... it is a wet suit bootie for foot protection when walking on sand, rocks and corel before you put your fins on and after you take them off ... which i find 'a lot' better than going bare-foot before putting on fins & after.gordonr

I've used them with full fins and open fins with no problem, but would rather use diving boots for open fins. They get a bit loose after a few uses, but still work well as socks for full fins. If you use them without fins they're not that great because they flood easily.

I use mine with 3mm slip on "boot" and they are fine. I imagine the 2mm would be fine as well, but without anything you'll get killer blisters (I tried once)

if you go to the Ultra Paws web site they kind of tell you what boot is best for what application. I have not seen the durable boot

Yes they will. They work great too! However, they are not soft and are not suitable for transporting surfboards (unless you wrap them with a foam). I did use them this past winter for snowboards and gear though, and they worked great. I definitely recommend these!

Hi Stephanie, Thank you for your inquiry. We do not recommend surfboards over 8ft. Regards,

Yes, though they are more gearing for aggressive skating. If you are merely skating down streets, or a bike path, I would opt for something cheaper. Another note, their sizes run a little small, so if you need a medium, maybe try a large.

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 think that would be a good idea. Just whatever you do, get something with better traction than this style!

I think longboard trucks use a standard size. If you drilled them according to a previous set, you should be fine. I bought these for my kid and the skateboard isn't here right now so I can't measure.

The soles are not slippery, yes they have traction, I work outside, and I really appreciate having such a nice boot that is not heavy on the feet, comfortable and slips easily over my workshoes, I purchased the large size and maybe could have gone with medium, I take a size 8 1/2 women's work shoe, I have worn them in storms and working in the yard several times, and thank the dots for the boots further the price is right......

This is a "youth" size. I'm not sure if they are made any smaller. If you live close to a skateboard shop I should suggest visiting it to check sizes.

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.
