Extra Long Booties

[Nuke]

Does any one know where I can get extra long booties.

My suite goes over my booties but when i dive it moves up and my booties gets filled with water. I'm a thin/tall dude but my suite fits snug. I'm sure i have seen extra long booties advertised somewhere!

Any ideas??

Coral wetsuits will make whatever you want in just about any colour or thicknes that you want.

They are in Cape Town

Cheaper to just borrow your girlfriend's stockings.  And maybe garters too

I just cut a small hole in the toe area of my booties to let the water out. Works well for me.

In Cape Town a hole in a bootie means it gets thrown away (or you lose a toe due to frostbite )

I know Rob Allen has just started manufacturing booties etc..Maybe give them a try?

Heads up for Tony, get some westcoast 6mm stockings, i even have a spare pair for you to see how it feels

Not a bad idea!  I got some 3mm booties which fit lekker, but I get shocks from my sharkshield through them.  It's quite tricky to find decent 5mm booties which fit into fins.

Thanks guys.
I'm of to coral to get me some extra long booties!!

Just so you guys know, had my booties made up at Coral. I added 10cm to each bootie and only paid R40 bucks extra. So, 1 new pair of 5mm custom booties = R165. Not bad and my legs and feet will stay warmer for longer!
