Prolimit Surf Shoes Unisex Fusion 5.5MM GBS Black

Prolimit Surf Shoes Unisex Fusion 5.5MM GBS are made for cold days when you need warmth without losing the instant board feel. The 5.5mm neoprene shaft keeps wind chill out and warms up quickly as soon as you get moving, while the round toe leaves your toes free for a natural sense of balance during water starts, jibes 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 low collar slides neatly under your wetsuit leg for a draft-free fit. The flexible outsole offers ample grip on wet deck, jetties and slippery pebbles, but is thin enough to precisely feel pressure on rails, footpads and strapping positions. Reinforced areas on heel and instep increase durability when you frequently walk on rough surfaces or tighten the shoe firmly. On and off is easy, the inner lining is soft and dries smoothly between sessions, so you don't step into a clammy shoe the next round.

On Dutch lakes, ponds and along the coast, you especially notice the calm, predictable feel this Fusion shoe gives when the wind turns or picks up. The shank rolls smoothly with your ankle, allowing you to "read" the foil or board without constantly correcting; at the same time, enough lateral support remains to firmly push toward the lip. The fit is unisex and covers a wide size range: wear it tight for maximum precision in the heart of winter, or combine with a thin sock when it's really inclement. Maintenance is down-to-earth: after cruising, rinse off sand and salt, pat out the water and hang the shoes on the loop to dry-materials and stitching remain form-fitting and elastic, even after frequent rinsing in salt. So you get exactly that mix of insulation, grip and suppleness that makes long, cold sessions not only possible but enjoyable.
