Where can I buy 'Rock Boots'

Hi

I want to change my dry suit boots for 'Rock Boots' or whatever the generic name is for them.

I have an Otter Brittanic and Otter apparently have the neoprene socks for them, but currently don't have the boots.

So, does anyone know where I can buy the boots in the UK?

Any advise I should know about them before buying?

I want to change as I really don't like that insecure feeling of dry suit boots.

Thanks
.

One guy in my branch has a DUI which came with rock boots. However he doesn't use them, and instead uses a pair of ankle-height wetsuit booties instead. Obviously the booties are larger than his normal shoe size, as they have to go over the neoprene sock on the drysuit. Maybe you can try this instead?

Oh, never thought of that. It's certainly something to think about. I like my Beaver booties I use with my semi dry.

Thanks to the folks who offered boots, I am size 8. Well that's what my other shoes and boots are anyway.

I don't really want to order from the states in case there are any problems with sizing for instance. Of course Hydrotech [sp?] may have them - never thought of that.


Thanks everyone

Paul,

Andy Holland (sp?) from Hydrotech will be at the Dive Ireland show at the weekend. May give you an opportunity to ask directly ?

Gary.

Got some now thanks. All I have to do is to fit some dry socks.
