I recently bought a pair of Zhik hiking dingy boots. Whilst dry and in the shop they fitted fine.
However as soon as the are wet they are quite painfull. Is it a simple fix putting a hole in them to break the vacume? Any idea's Any advice given is much appreciated! |

I'm guessing you are saying they are too tight when wet, i always found that wetsuit boots enlarged when wet so i needed to get really tight boots that loosen when wet ------------- Josh Preater http://www.bu22.co.uk">  BUZZING IS FUN

You've not left the security tags inside the boots have you? ------------- RS600 1001 |

They are the hiking ones with a semi solid rubberised top. the are fine when they go on but when wet a the suction really hurts across the top of the foot.
I am gonna put a couple of holes in them to break the suction i think. |

Just put a straw in each of them, that should sort the suction!! ------------- |
