Prolimit Surf Shoes Unisex Raider 2MM Black are lightweight, flexible shoes for those who want maximum board feel in mild to cool water temperatures. The 2mm neoprene shaft fits snugly around foot and ankle and warms up quickly as soon as you get moving, while the rounded toe leaves your toes free for natural balance feel on water starts, jibs and beach starts. The low entry makes donning and doffing easy in the parking lot or on the waterfront; once on, the fit feels stable with no pressure points on instep or heel. The outsole is thin enough to maintain direct contact with footpads and strapping positions, but does offer grip on wet decks, jetties and slippery pebbles. Seams are neatly finished to limit seepage, the interior feels soft on bare skin and dries smoothly between sessions. This keeps your feet protected from cold stinging winds and rough surfaces, without the bulky feel of thick winter boots.
On Dutch lakes, ponds and along the coast, you'll especially notice how natural the Raider 2MM feels during lots of mounting and dismounting and short runs on the beach or dike. The flexible shaft rolls along with your ankle so that your board or foil "reads" better, while the sole provides sufficient stability during take-offs or a hard carve. The unisex fit covers a wide size range; wear them tight for pure boardfeel in summer, or combine with a thin sock in spring and fall. Cleaning is simple: just rinse, pat out and let dry on a hook-the materials retain their shape even after repeated rinsing in salt water. Thanks to their down-to-earth design, these surf shoes are a logical choice if you want to sail especially light, direct and comfortable, with just enough protection from cold, sharp shells and slippery jetties without sacrificing feel.
