A must in winter or when surfing over rocks etc. Strictly speaking not essential during the summer months however we find a lot of people still like the comfort and protection of a good pair of wetsuit boots. Broken glass, weaver fish and discarded hypodermic needles (not generally a problem in North Devon) can make a pair of boots a wise investment even when the water is not cold. Most Boots are in foot sizes these days

...we advise the snuggest fit possible as your feet will shrink when they are cold and neoprene stretches when it is wet.
