*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.
Tested Against Stingrays
Dozens of materials tested against Round Stingrays‡ (Urobatis Halleri) and via simulated stings in the lab. See Testing Methods for more detail.
‡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.

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.
