The split toe construction separates your big toe from the rest, allowing your foot to grip and articulate more naturally - just like barefoot riding. This enhanced dexterity translates to better board control, more precise weight shifts, and improved overall performance when riding strapless or on a foil board.

Sizing and Fit
Wetsuit boots should fit snugly without restricting circulation or cramping your toes. Refer to the O'Neill size chart and measure your foot carefully. The boots will feel slightly tight when dry but will relax when wet. A proper fit ensures maximum board feel and prevents water flushing.
Care Instructions
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each session at Camber Sands to remove salt and sand. Turn inside-out and hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Allow to dry completely between uses. Store in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
Feel the board like never before: At £10 off, this is an excellent opportunity to experience the superior board connection that makes the O'Neill Gripper Split Toe boots the choice of serious strapless riders and wing foilers. Stay warm while maintaining that crucial barefoot feel.
