SEAC Pro HD 6mm Neoprene Wetsuit Boots with Side Zipper

Ordered size 10 to replace my old Henderson boots (also size 10), and I chose these as they appeared to be a robust boot with a nice thick sole. As it turned out, they are exactly as advertised.- The soles on these boots feel very protective, and I'm confident that they will work well whether diving/snorkeling off the shore or from a boat.- The zipper is strong and secure- The quality of the build appears to be good- They fit my Oceanic Manta Ray Fins perfectly, and I had no trouble pulling the fin straps over the heel.- There is a nicely designed ridge above the heel to hold the fin strap in place. My fin straps fit very well into the cavity that this ridge creates.- All in all, a very nice product at a great price.- As a side note, I've noticed reviews complaining about leaking. Please note that all dive boots allow water to get to the foot. They're an extension of your wetsuit - which keeps you warm by creating a thin layer of water between your body and the wetsuit. Don't buy dive boots expecting them to be waterproof. They're not supposed to be.

The size is accurate, the quality is good, they are very comfortable. I use these boots with both kayaks. In my sit inside kayak they don't work so well as it is a tight fit for the boots, so I use a smaller, thinner boot. They work great with my sit-on-top fishing kayak. They are warm and not too warm for sitting in the sun in the summer time. I use these boots more in my fishing kayak and I am usually out for 5 hours at a time and they feel great.

I compared at least 6 different rain boots, mud boots and different sizes in some. They were sizes 9, 10, 11 etc. Depends on the manufacturer:For our purposes here I will compare size 10 in:1. Seac 6mm, 2. Guide Gear, 3. Crocs AllCast, 4. Hisea, 5. Servus Comfort tech, 6. LaCrosse Diamondback snake proofTo be be fair, the LaCrosse is the most uncomfortable because it is a more rigid snake proof boot. Safety first, comfort last.That being said there is a better, more versatile and just as safe alternative. I'll try to remember to add it in here later.Back to the boots.I'm going to rank these for ease of scanning reviews [I know I read hundreds trying to find the items].All Size 10: In all of the boots, if you want to use your sole insert order one size up. Except Hisea seemed to fit size 10 with insert [i.e., it runs a size+ large].1. Seac 6mm dive boot: fits like a shoe and almost looks like one. Nice full rubber sole. Size 10 is snug on this 9.5-10 foot [that's with sock. Took the sock off and was perfect. Wet foot little difficult to get in but slide your fingers down your foot or use a plastic grocery bag over foot]. Can wear zipped on side for real water proof needs or unzipped walking/hiking around. Yes Hiking! These are great for Fossil hunting in shorts, wearing under BuzzOff pants, with wading overalls to stay dry in summer or winter [6mm], or walking on beaches with shells or while diving coral reefs. VERY versatile. ALL the other boots are not meant to be worn in water deeper than @12". The Crocs maybe 6". If you say you want boots to hunt/hike I'd say buy the Crack Shot Snake Guardz and wrap over these and your jeans [or bare even legs} MUCH more comfortable and versatile.2. Guide Gear: fits slightly looser than Seac. Very comfortable with over calf boot [calf area appears large enough to fit the guy on the insurance commercial with the calk implants] Fits like a true size 10. Plenty of room in toe. just a little pressure on top of the foot. If you're dead set on a traditional "mud boot" look these are a great choice. Plenty of room to stuff your pant legs into the contoured calf area. I'd then add the Snake Guardz over that.3. Crocs AllCast [after this it's a distant 4th etc] Size 10 fits like size 11 maybe 10.75. Size 9.0 fits okay I guess like a 9.25. They are comfortable and I could wear either around the house. The 10's flop a lot though and heel slide even in 9.0's. Very comfy but whats the purpose of half calf in these? More of a walk the dog or walk to work, If you're going in streams it will fill up.4. Hisea: perplexing. Kind of comfortable sole but size 10 is more like an 11.5. And bulky, and foot area doesn't seem to have enough curve to it. Be difficult to get a good fit unless you ordered at least three pair to try on. I'd think the mud would just suck this boot in, especially if in the water when it fills up.5. Servus "Comfort" Technology: Heavy. Rubber sole not bad. Okay if you just need to slip on to get something out of car. Wouldn't want to walk far. VERY wide calf opening. Your wife could probably stuff her purse in there.6. LaCrosse Diamondback snake proof boots: If I was going in snake infested area and I didn't have time to order on Amazon I'd wear these. But wow, heavy, stiff and uncomfortable.The ONLY option I found to wear on it's own, with waders for waterproof fishing/hunting/hiking or fossil/relic hunting [not brand] that covers ALL the bases [Functionality, comfort, ankle support and WATERPROOF...as in water can't come in over the top of the boot] is the Seac.I will add photo of all boots for visual comparison efficiency. Hope that helps.Good luck and let me know what else you'd like reviewed. Since my three Strokes I don't get out much.Carpe Diem.This is one of first days I have ever done a review.Please give a "Helpful" up vote.

I’ve had the 5mm Cressi Isla for a few years and have been pretty happy with them. They are lightweight and kept my feet relatively warm in the cold California waters. Until this last dive, averaging 49deg causing my feet to completely numb. Getting out of the water, I was walking on nubs. As the blood started rushing back to my feet I had a horrible burning/ itching sensation. Maybe the Cressi’s are old? In any case, these were my replacements. I ordered the large and they would not fit in my Seac fins. So I ordered the mediums and went for a dive. They still did not fit my fins, and they were tight on my feet (I wear 10.5 size shoe). BUT, my feet were warm the entire day!! So I will be returning the medium, keeping the large, and getting new fins. These were great, solid boots and I highly recommend them. Just make sure they fit your feet and your fins.

Great shore diving boot. Ordered the 12-12.5 and size was accurate. Very durable.

Fit feel and comfort are perfect

And totally can walk over sharp and jagged rocks

These are shaped so that they will only fit certain shapes of feet - and definitely not wide feet.
