*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
Why is it two layers?
The two layers are needed to provide stingray protection while maintaining comfort and flexibility. Both layers will stretch out and hold tight against your foot, so slip between the layers is minimal. Many customers say they forgot they were wearing booties at all. If you don't believe us, feel free to test them out for yourself! If you don't like them, we'll give you a full refund, no questions asked :)
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.
