How to measure

For a wetsuit, we find that your weight is usually the most important measurement to follow. Height is less critical as a wetsuit will still function well if the legs are a little too long or short. We also suggest going for the smaller size if you are tossing up between two sizes.. most women's returns come back because the wetsuit fitted 'Too large'.

Weight - Jump on the scales to weigh yourself.
Height - Your full body height, measured from the floor to the top if your head.
Bust - Keeping the tape level, measure under your arms around the fullest part of the bust.
Waist - Measure at the narrowest part of the natural waistline with no tension around the tape.

Quality surf booties

Arrived interstate the day after I ordered them - incredibly fast delivery. They seem very sturdy and good quality - I haven’t used them yet as they only arrived last night. I will say the sizing is small and I am thinking I may need to exchange for a larger size - if you are not sure about sizing, I would probably advise sizing up (for the women’s conversion at least) as I ordered my usual size for footwear and they are really snug on my toes - I don’t know that they will stretch as the rubber sole comes all the way to the top of the toes.

Defender Splt Toe Reef Wetsuit Boot

While the quality seems good the sizing is off. Ordered a US11 which equates to Australian 10 & my toes are cramped ,they’re more like a US10 & now i have to pay to send them back

Defender Reef ST Boot

Excellent product. Comfortable fit. Means I hopefully won't be scraping my toes or heels on rocks and reefs any more. Good size guide. Very efficient postage/delivery.

Simple reef boot, plenty of protection.

A very simple bootie with adequate protection for walking on reefs of Bali when it all goes wrong or the tide drains out. Like all booties a little loss of feel on the board, but better than sliced toes when surfing in shallow reef breaks.

Size on the website does not match the actual size of the boots

I bought the boots based on the website listed size euro 44 which according to the chart equals size 10 on the website.

Unfortunately when the boots arrived, size 10 is euro 43 so they don’t fit (see pics attached).

I’ve paid for shipping to my home, and back again and there is no size 11 (which I guess is euro 44 as I believed I had ordered in the first instance) in stock via the online store.

Basically, I’ve spent money for shipping the wrong size boots (at no fault of my own) and have nothing to show for it in return.
