At the end of the day if you don't get on with the socks/booties, it won't break the bank to have the socks cut off and boots fitted?

Although having boots taken off and socks fitted by DUI is an arm and a leg.........

Sorry to hijack the thread, but if I wanted to get some socks put on my drysuit, where would be the best place to go?

Im based in Hull and I am tempted to give them a try as the boots that I am currently using are quite bulky and restrictive.

I think I would probably just use some wetsuit boots over the top, as I already own a pair.

Thanks

Shaun

I'd get a quote from Seaskin.

People on here rave on about them for new suits, but they also will make alterations to suits from other manufactures.

I got neoprene boots fitted to my Dads Typhon membrain suit a while back for a very good price and a quick turnaround.

Exclamation Rock Boots
One thing to note...

I need a new pair of Rock Boots - local DUI dealers didn't have the right size so tried on the Converse and others - none of these fitted with my fins!

So, I'm looking for a pair of size 11 (US) DUI rock boots

Can anybody direct me to where is a good place to buy rock boots, was quite taken with the DUI ones I have seen pictures of but have been unable to find a website selling them seperate. Can I just not work the internet or can you only get them with a DUI suit?
