Prolimit Surf Shoes Unisex Fusion 5MM GBS Black

Prolimit Surf Shoes Unisex Fusion 5MM GBS are made for cold sessions in fall and winter, when you need warmth without losing feeling in your feet. The 5mm neoprene shaft keeps windchill out and warms up quickly as soon as you get moving, while the round toe gives your toes room for natural balance feel during water starts, jibs and short runs on the beach. Glued and blind-stitched (GBS) seams limit water flowing in and out and feel smooth on the skin; the soft inner lining dries smoothly between days of boating. The low collar slides neatly under your wetsuit leg for a draft-free fit, and stays comfortable without pinching at the ankle. The outsole is flexible enough to precisely feel pressure on rails, footpads and strapping positions, but offers ample traction on wet deck, jetties and slippery pebbles. Reinforced zones on heel and instep increase durability when you frequently walk on rough surfaces or tighten the shoe firmly.

On Dutch lakes, ponds and along the coast, you'll especially notice the calm, predictable feel the Fusion gives when it's windy and the chop is short and jagged. The shoe rolls along with your ankle, which makes your board or foil "read" better and you have to correct less when putting on or landing. The fit is unisex and covers a wide size range; wear it tight for maximum precision in mid-winter, or combine with a thin sock when it's really chilly. Donning is hassle-free thanks to the smooth opening; once on, the shoe remains stable without twisting around the foot, even when you build up pressure toward the lip. After the session, you rinse off sand and salt, pat out the water and hang them on the loop to dry-the materials remain form-fitting and elastic, session after session. So you get exactly that mix of insulation, grip and flexibility that makes long, cold days on the water not only possible but enjoyable.
