DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What you'll feel
You'll feel every nuance of your board without being bogged down by excessive thickness. The 1.5 mm neoprene maintains excellent foot sensitivity, while the round toe shape provides ample room for precise toe pressure. This ensures a precise connection during starts and maneuvers. It helps you better identify pressure points on the hull shape. The lightweight design minimizes bulk and facilitates seamless balance transfers.
Sizes and Fit
The range covers shoe sizes 36 to 48, with models available in both single and combined sizes (38/39, 40/41, 43/44, 45/46). The fit is snug at the heel and more generous in the front, balancing sensitivity and comfort. If you're between two shoe sizes, we recommend opting for the larger shoe size to prevent pressure points, especially if you plan to wear thin socks under your boots.
Construction and materials
The ION PLASMA SLIPPER 2024 features high-quality 1.5 mm neoprene that's both flexible and abrasion-resistant, paired with a non-slip sole specifically designed for board support. The seam construction and finish minimize water infiltration while maintaining flexibility and comfort. The round toe design enhances sensitivity and protects your toes during quick, technical maneuvers.
On-water behaviour
These boots keep your foot close to the hull shape for precise, non-slip support on your board. The non-slip sole stabilizes your footing during carves and landings. When paddleboarding, you'll maintain excellent feedback from under your feet, and when surfing, you'll minimize slips during turns. Their low thickness also prevents the buoyancy effect that can disrupt your stance.
Who is it for?
These **boots** are for riders who want lightweight protection without sacrificing board feel. They're perfect for recreational riders, **beginner**s working towards **range**, and regular summer riders. If you're looking for scrape protection and enhanced grip without losing sensitivity, these **boots** are a solid choice for a variety of watersports.
Buying advice
Choose your shoe size with a snug heel fit and a more relaxed front in mind. Go up half a size if you plan to wear thin socks underneath. If ordering online, check the available EANs for your desired shoe size. For proper care, rinse them with fresh water and dry them in the shade to extend the life of the neoprene.
