This is the average sizing chart. If you prefer tighter booties, we recommend going one size down, and if you have wider feet and/or ankles, we recommend going one size up.

  • Please do not walk on concrete or rocks with Dragon Skin booties—wait to get on the sand before putting them on
  • Hand-rinse booties; air dry
  • Avoid storing the booties in the sun

*we can’t guarantee coverage on an individual foot, but from our testing, we estimate that stingray-resistant materials cover 85% of a typical bootie.

‡Round Stingrays are the most common source of stingray injury in Southern California, but they are not the only dangerous species of stingray. The exact level of protection provided against other species is unknown. See Product Liability Disclaimer for more detail.

After recently being stung by a stingray which resulted in 3 days in the hospital, protecting my feet while standing in the surf fishing is now a priority.

Great Boots, Would buy again

Great boots, comfortable and fit well. Definitely feel much more at ease surfing at the beach while wearing them knowing I’m more protected from a sting. Bottom grip on the surfboard could be a bit better I think. Velcro strap could also be a bit better but zipper is nice and keeps the boot snug.

Thank you for the feedback! We're really grateful to hear about the ease you feel in your DragonSkins. As for the strap and grip, we appreciate the constructive feedback. It's feedback like yours that'll continue to help us improve — a big thank you!

Good quality

I’m a surfer in San Diego and I’ve worn these about 5 times at my local beach breaks that have a ton of stingrays. They do not impact my surfing any more than normal booties would and they seem to be good quality. I hope to never put them to the real test of blocking a stingray barb, but I plan on submitting updated feedback when that happens. I totally recommend everyone buy them, not only because they’re good quality but also because I would rather not be the only kook wearing booties in the middle of summer!

Soft Stingray Protection

After an awful experience with a stingray sting, I found these booties and I'm so glad I did. I was nervous to see how they would compare to my regular surf booties, and they are GREAT! Very flexible and super easy to surf with. I feel so much safer when I wear these. My only recommendations would be to make the outer sole harder like a normal surf bootie (so I could wear them on rocks) and maybe consider making a thermal pair that are warmer for winter. Overall though, for the protection that they give, I am so so happy!

Peace of Mind

Bought these for my son in So Cal after seeing others get stung. Surprisingly they are very soft and dont interfere anymore than regular neoprene boots. Seem to be made extremely well!

FAQ

Do you Offer Children's Sizes?

We offer Youth Sizes from 1.5-6.5Y. We currently don't offer Children's sizes below that, but we're working on it! If you're interested in smaller sizes, let us know at info@mydragonskin.com

Can I Wear the Booties with Fins?

In total, the booties are about 8mm (or about .3 inches) thick. The neoprene in the booties also does compress when worn with a fin. As long as you have about a quarter of an inch space of slack between your feet and the fins, you should be good!

Can I Use the Booties for Fishing?

Yes, you can use the booties to fish if it is a relatively sandy wading area. If the area is rocky though, we don't recommend using the booties since the soles are neoprene with a silicone pattern print.
