I wear the boot for everything. I like to swim and be in water and where I live it is cold most of the year. This is my boot. I purchased the gloves too and both are great. Thank you for your customer service.
The AXS boot replaced my deck boots for the windy months. No skid, warm feet. High quality.
Work really well for SUP, the boot doesn't slip. Feels stable in the shoes. I found that a little wetsuit wash is good to keep them very clean.
These boots are very comfortable. They live up to the Hyperflex reputation. I wear an O'neill Epic and these boots work perfectly with my suit. I also wear a Quiksilver Syncro and these are excellent accessories. I have bought other brands in the past but the neoprene dries out and these have not. 9 months of 3-4 days a week / 4 hour sessions. They are still holding up very well. The glue is stable, the form is still in it's original shape. The soles are nice still, I walk on concrete to get to and from my beach and they still are holding up. Highly recommend. I also own a pair of e-bomb 2mm boots for when the water gets a little warmer. Those rock too.
In 72 degree water. Feel good, nice thickness, dry pretty quick.
