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.

Size4XS | M1.5-2.5 | W3-4

*we can’t guarantee coverage on an individual foot, but from our testing, we estimate that stingray-resistant materials would cover 85% of a typical bootie. There is still a chance that a wearer gets stung, but if you do get stung while wearing our booties†, we'll give you your money back!

Testing Performed on Round Stingrays (Urobatis Halleri)

  • These booties were designed and tested with Round Stingrays. 
  • 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. 
  • Please see our Product Liability Disclaimer for more detail.

Design

  • Secure: Hybrid, dual-layer bootie, covering an estimated 85% of the bootie with stingray-resistant materials. For more details, see our testing methods page!
  • Composition: Two base layers of 2 mm thick neoprene, plus thermoplastic protective material.
  • Comfort: Soft, flexible, four-way super-stretch neoprene makes this bootie easy to take on and off. Flat seams help prevent chafing and keep your feet comfortable for long periods.
  • Use: surfing, boogie boarding, swimming, or just playing in the water! Can also be worn under snorkel or dive fins, or as lightweight water shoes for kayaking or paddle boarding.
  • Patent Pending Technology: Unique dual-layer design balances protection and comfort.

Review title? ?

I am very happy with my boots and the fact that you stand behind your product! After the zipper broke you sent me a new pair of boots, all the way to Canada!
Exceptional service! Thank you!

Amazing - feel so much safer in the water!! and they are flexible so you can surf or swim!

Love them, easy to use, and they flex because of the two bootie design. Great product

Awesome

I love my dragon skin booties. I live in La Jolla shores and go in the ocean everyday. These boots make me feel confident amongst the sting rays.

The new Boot

Excellent Boot! I have used them at Belmont Shores, Long Beach for Kiteboarding. I did not go out and look for Stingrays and that would be a bit stupid. The Boot has a good look to them and very little water got inside. I can feel my surfboard deck under the feet and place my feet in to my Twin Fin when Kiteboarding. I have only walked on sand, so rocks may wear out the bottoms fast. My toes are a bit cramped, but that could be my issue (reason for 4 star).I do feel a lot better now, Thanks to all at Dragon Skin.

Thank you so much Christopher for your review and feedback! So grateful to hear that you're rocking the booties kiteboarding! If your toes are cramped, we're happy to do an exchange for one size up. We'll be in touch to see how we can get this right for you!

Five Stars. Great Quality and nice fit!

These are very nice and comfortable booties. The pain of being stung twice by stingrays was forcing me to limit or even give up windsurfing. Finding these Dragonskin booties has completely changed the narrative for me! Now I can enjoy being in the water without fear.

FAQ

Do you Offer Children's Sizes?

Although we wish we could have children's size now, at this point, we're making adult sizes exclusively. When we do make our booties available in children sizes, we want to make sure we accommodate potential stings higher up the leg, and any other differences inherent to the smaller size and wearers, which may require a separate design. That said, it is definitely on our radar so we'll be working on it longer term!

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.
