Recommended water temperatures:  0° C +.

Sizing tip: Order your normal shoe size or half a size smaller, as the shoes will stretch to fit when being molded. For example, if you have a size 10.5, order a 10. If you have a size 10, order a size 10.

NOTE: If your feet are particularly narrow or have little volume, you should order one size smaller.

Simply the warmest, lightest and best fitting boot you can buy

The Solite 8mm Custom is an unrivaled shoe when it comes to maximum warmth, barefoot response and super lightweight simplicity. Unlike other spongy, squishy cold-water neoprene boots, our heat-moldable Thermofoam sole provides a direct connection to your board and feels like a second skin.

Custom-fit 8/7mm Thermofoam sole with round toe

Solite's patented, thermoformable Thermofoam sole puts an end to the spongy feel of a neoprene-soled boot. Perfect fit means instant response and comfort, and the round toe design ensures that all toes touch each other for maximum warmth. The Thermo-Foam sole is 8 mm thick in the toe and heel area and 7 mm otherwise.

Improved neoprene lining with Tatex Flex-Spine

This season, Solite has also changed the outer lining to the same material they use on the Custom Pros and Custom Fire to improve durability and minimize water absorption. Further reinforcing the outer material is Solite's exclusive Tatex Flex Spine. The Flex Spine stiffens the back of the boot and acts like a shoehorn, easing entry while providing a tacky surface that holds the leg of the wetsuit in place and prevents it from flushing out. The inside is lined with a plush, quick-drying lining material that maximizes airflow and improves warmth and comfort.

EZ-O Cuffwith Overkill Seams

Solites EZ-O Cuff design provides a seamless barrier against flushing with a larger surface area than other O-ring seals, making it easier to put on and take off and reducing stress on the seams. The EZ-O panel is only 5mm thick so it is less bulky under the leg of the wetsuit and easier to put on and take off. Because the booties are subject to heavy use, Solite has made no compromises in the construction of our neoprene seams. Solite's overkill neoprene seams are triple glued, blind stitched and then sealed on the outside with liquid seam sealer for maximum durability and longevity.

Reinforced Stealth Loop

To make it easier to put on and take off, Solite has integrated the inconspicuous Stealth Loop into the heel. The Stealth Loop is laminated between the neoprene and the co-molded rubber/textile heel reinforcement piece, providing incredible durability and tensile strength. The Stealth Loop is also coated with Tatex for added strength and water absorption.

1mm Neoprene Round-Toe Heat-Booster Socks in the Box

The Solite 8mm Customs include a pair of Solite's 1mm Neoprene Round-Toe Heat-Booster Socks in the box. These socks are an important part of the Solite "system", especially in the cold waters where the 8mm Customs are used. The advantages of the 1mm neoprene socks are numerous:

• They give the boots an extra 5-10F of warmth for longer sessions in cold waters.
• Increase comfort by providing a soft, plush barrier between the foot and the Thermofoam sole
• Makes it easier to put on and take off the boots thanks to a low-friction outer surface
• The socks can be washed and dried separately to keep the boots smelling fresh

FIT-GUIDE

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE

Solite boots offer the best performance, comfort and warmth when they are the right size and fit correctly. Here are some tips to make sure you choose the right size for an optimal fit:

If you have average/wide feet:

You should buy your shoe size or half a size smaller. Solite boots should be a snug fit when they are delivered, only the heat molding process will stretch them to the perfect size. If your boots feel too big in any dimension (length/width/arch), we recommend that you order one size smaller. Even if the boots feel tight after unpacking, the thermoforming process stretches them so that they fit snugly but comfortably.

NOTE: If you plan to use the 1mm Neoprene Heat Booster Socks in your boots, you may not need to size down. If you have wide feet, you should even choose half a size larger if you want to use the 1mm Neoprene Heat Booster Socks. For example, if you have size 10.5 and want to use the 1mm Neoprene Heat Booster Socks, size 11 might fit better. This applies in particular to the 5 mm boots, which do not stretch as much as 3 mm boots during heat molding.

If you have narrow/less voluminous feet:

You can choose your shoe size one size smaller. When heat molding, the shoe stretches to fit your length and narrows to fit your narrower foot. Again, the 3mm boots will stretch more easily than the 5mm boots when thermoforming, so bear this in mind when choosing your size.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOT MOLDING

Solite Boots are the world's first and only heat-molded watersports boots that can be customized.

Customization can be done in your kitchen with nothing more than a kettle. Watch the video below and follow the instructions exactly to heat mold your Solite boots. Do not use any other methods of heat molding other than boiling water. The use of ovens, microwaves, heat guns, etc. will void the warranty.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Bring water to a boil (you will need about 3 cups of boiling water per boat).
2. While the water is boiling, roll down the cuffs of your Solite boots and place them in a sink.
3. Put on the Solite Heat Booster socks if you want to wear them in the boots.
4. Once the water is bubbling and boiling, carefully pour it into your Solite boots (in the sink), just below the seam where the neoprene upper is attached to the sole. See photo.

1. Wait 5 minutes for the boiling water to soften the sole material.
2. After 5 minutes, carefully pour the hot water out of the Solite boot (one boot at a time) and briefly rinse the inside of the boot with cold water to lower the surface temperature and prevent burns. Test with your hand first. It should be as warm as you can stand for your foot.
3. Place your foot in the Solite boot while wearing the Heat Booster sock if you want to use the socks regularly. Make sure your big toe sits comfortably in the toe opening and your heel is flush in the heel pocket.
4. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the other boot.
5. Fasten the ankle straps of the boot if this model has any.
6.  Walk around in your Solite boots for the next 10-15 minutes to allow the boots to mold comfortably to your feet as they cool down.
7. Once your Solite boots have cooled to room temperature, the molding process is complete.
8. If you are not happy with the fit, you can reshape the Solite boots by repeating the steps above. Your Solite boots should feel completely comfortable, almost like part of your foot.
