Frequently Asked Questions about Escarpines
What are booties?
Slippers, also known as chapines, are lightweight water shoes. They are usually made of neoprene and are used mostly in water sports such as surfing and bodyboarding. We can find them in both low and high versions, with different thicknesses.
What are booties for?
Neoprene booties have two main functions: protecting feet from scratches and protecting them from the cold. It is common to wear them in aquatic environments to walk on rocks safely and to counteract the low temperatures of the water. You can choose from different thicknesses.
How to choose surf booties?
Booties are one of the accessories you'll need for surfing. The first thing to keep in mind when buying them is the size. Each brand will have a different size, so pay attention to this when purchasing. It's important not to buy them too large, as they would fill with water. They should be smaller than your foot to stretch and stay securely attached. The second thing to consider is the thickness. 2mm or 3mm booties are usually worn in winter in Europe, while 5mm ones are used during colder months. Low booties are thinner, between 0.5mm and 1.5mm thick, offering greater freedom of movement, and are mainly used to protect feet when walking on rocky waves or reefs.
