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 these 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.

Excellent product

Having been stung and frequently foiling in a bay with lots of stingrays , these offer tremendous psychological benefit, at least. Have used them 20 days in a row and have not been hit which is probably just lucky. They fit well and I have good board control. For talismanic properties, if nothing more, they are worth every penny

Great barefoot feel

These booties are not only making me feel more protected, but they have a surprisingly comfortable feel. It’s like I am barefoot, which is just what I wanted. Nice design!

DragonSkin are the best booties and Customer service

Love my DragonSkin booties. Used them in Coronado boogie boarding with loads of stingrays near shore. My first pair was a little too small so DragonSkin sent me new one immediately because I was on vacation. Terrific product and fantastic customer service. I guy next to me in the water was stung and I told him about my booties and he immediately ordered them. Hope you guys make a fortune. You deserve it.

FAQ

Do you Offer Children's Sizes?

We currently make booties for 13-year olds and up. Unfortunately, we don't currently make booties for 12-year olds & younger, but we're working on it! If you go to the Teen section above you can see current available sizes for Teens and, for unavailable sizes, sign up to be notified when we develop them.

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.
