Topic: Wet suit boots Posted: 14 May 08 at 12:57pm |
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! Edited by jamesewanharvey |

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

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

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!!
