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.

Size Size chart
  • 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.

Swim with total confidence

For first time in 20 years I get into Torrey Pines water with total confidence. This is a great product, high quality.
It takes some effort to take them out after swimming, as they are one boot inside another. You also should wash them wirh tap water to remove sand and salt. So, they are a little high maintenance, nut it worth it!

Hi Ricardo! That’s awesome to hear! 🙌 We’re so glad the booties are helping you get back in the Torrey Pines water with confidence—that’s exactly what they’re made for. You’re totally right, they do take a bit of extra care, but we love that you think it’s worth it. Thanks for sharing your experience. 😊

My original pair of booties kind of fell apart—replaced!

My original pair of booties kind of fell apart. Both the outer booties tore and the zipper pull tab broke in one season. The company has excellent customer service though and replaced right away. no way to know if i haven’t gotten because I’m just lucky or because I wouldn’t have anyway. But I always feel a little more relaxed and have more fun when I’m wearing them during sting ray season.

Hi, thanks so much for sharing your experience! We’re sorry your first pair didn’t hold up as expected, but glad we could get you a replacement quickly. 🙏 It means a lot to know the booties help you feel more relaxed and able to enjoy the water during stingray season—that’s exactly why we make them. Wishing you lots of safe and fun days out there!

Hey Steve! So great to hear you’re loving the booties! 🙌 The inner sleeve setup is definitely a favorite, and we’re glad it’s helping you feel confident heading back to your favorite spot in Del Mar. Here’s to many safe and fun beach days ahead!

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 kristel@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.
