Hey guys,

Wondering what winter boots crew are loving this winter? Since Rip Curl changed the design of their 2m rubber soul I've been struggling to find anything on par with the old ones.

Cheers

O’Neil Super/Hyperfreak 3mm are a good fit for me. Shame about the Rubber Soul, have had few pairs of those. Susceptible to nicks and generally not as robust, but super comfy.

Even though I don't rate O'Neil wetsuits in general (I've had two duds in the past) their booties are a different story. Comfy, flexible and warm, totally recommend them.

I've currently got a pair of Xcel Drylocks and they've sailed through their first season. Recommend them too.

Give these a crack - similar to the Rubber Soul I think

or these. I don't know if they make them anymore though

I love the O'Neill Ninja 3mm split toe booties. Snug as fit and don't feel restrictive at all. Easy to move around on the board, hard to get out of once you've been using them through the winter.
