these are site's 3mm
0:08
booties these are awesome booties
0:10
because they have a custom molding
0:12
feature that you can mold them to your
0:14
feet so they fit really well they have a
0:16
solid grippy bottom don't have to worry
0:19
about slipping on your board or slipping
0:22
off your feet with that custom mold to
0:26
begin the molding process first you want
0:28
to heat up your hot water
0:30
while that water is heating up the
0:33
booties also come with these insole
0:36
socks these help for a a tighter fit
0:39
more snug fit um but they're also really
0:42
great because they allow you to slip the
0:45
booties on easily and off easily you'll
0:49
want to wear these during the molding
0:51
process so that the booty molds to your
0:54
foot while you have the sock
0:57
on the other nice thing about these
1:00
insole socks is when you're done surfing
1:03
they are machine was washable you can
1:05
hang them out to dry and this then just
1:08
continue to use them slip them on before
1:11
you put on your booties before your next
1:14
session now the other thing that you'll
1:16
want to do while the water is heating up
1:19
is go ahead and put your booties on a
1:21
flat surface I like to do it in the sink
1:24
because you'll be pouring the hot water
1:26
into your booties um what you want to do
1:29
here is roll down the Cuffs about an
1:32
inch or two on each each of your boots
1:36
so that they're ready and you can easily
1:39
pour that hot water down
1:42
them when that hot water is ready it
1:44
takes about 5 minutes you can start
1:47
pouring them into each booty you'll want
1:50
to fill the booties to about
1:52
roughly ankle high they don't need to go
1:55
all the way to the top where you see the
1:57
cuff Mark where we folded the booty down
2:00
just ankle high where your foot
2:03
basically the the height of a of a low
2:07
low sold
2:09
shoe then once you're done filling them
2:13
with hot water you're going to want to
2:15
wait about another 5 minutes to allow
2:18
that hot water to settle in soften them
2:21
up so they'll be ready when you put your
2:24
feet in and you can get a nice mold
2:26
going
2:31
all right this next step is pretty
2:33
important to avoid burning yourself once
2:36
you pour the hot water out after about 5
2:39
minutes pour it out so you're not
2:43
burning yourself or pouring it on your
2:44
skin uh but then what you want to do is
2:47
fill each booty quickly with uh a little
2:51
bit of cold water give it a quick flush
2:54
and then you can turn them over and and
2:56
pour them out and again this is so when
2:58
you slide those booties on on for a
3:00
fitting you don't burn yourself but as
3:02
soon as you put that cold water in
3:04
that's when you want to get your feet in
3:06
right
3:07
away now right after you pour that cold
3:10
water out get out to a flat surface and
3:14
then slip those booties
3:16
on again with your socks on first the
3:19
the insoles put the booties
3:22
on taking me a moment to a little bit of
3:24
a struggle to get them on but once you
3:26
have them on both feet you'll want to
3:29
keep them on both feet and walk around a
3:32
little bit U make sure that or this will
3:35
make sure that your feet really mold
3:39
nicely to the booties um and then you'll
3:42
have a really secure fit after those 5
3:44
minutes are
3:50
up so as you can see the sequence of
3:53
everything here is done in 5 minute
3:55
intervals 5 minutes to boil your water 5
3:58
minutes to to heat up the booties once
4:02
you pour the water in and then 5 minutes
4:04
of having your feet inside the booties
4:07
so you can get a nice mold fitted to
4:11
your
4:14
feet all right here's the final product
4:17
with the booties on they've been molded
4:18
to my feet they're super comfortable
4:20
walking around I can't wait to get in
4:22
the water with these things again they
4:25
grip the board really nicely going to
4:28
give you good balance on that board
4:30
going to keep your feet warm won't have
4:32
too much leakage and end of the day it's
4:35
all about catching more waves see you in
4:37
