Solite Boots 5mm Custom 2.0 Boot – 2023 Black/Gum

Recommended Water Temps: 45F+

Key Features:
We’ve changed the bootie-game again with our Solite 2.0 technology. The 5mm Custom integrates our 2.0 Sole in the cleanest, simplest package that essentially disappears on your feet. If you want the world’s lightest, barely-there boot, the 5mm Custom 2.0 is your answer.

Like all of our new 2.0 Series boots, the 5mm Custom 2.0 features a 3D-molded 1mm natural rubber sole, wrapping up the toes and heel for increased durability and protection against rocks, urchins, and reef. The one-piece sole design leaves no exposed gaps between sole pods, insuring extra protection and durability.

Custom-Fit 2.0 Thermofoam Sole
Solite ThermofoamSolite Mini-Split

Our patented heat-moldable 2.0 Thermofoam Sole has also been completely redesigned including a more comfortable Mini-Split internal split toe. The Mini-Split is 1cm shorter than our prior internal split, improving fit and comfort for a wider variety of toe shapes while still maintaining precise control. The Thermo Foam Sole is 6mm thick in the toes/heels for extra protection and 5mm elsewhere.

Upgraded Neoprene Lining with Tatex Flex-Spine and Plush Interior
Solite Flex Spine

Updates to the Custom 2.0 aren’t limited to the sole. We’ve also upgraded the outer lining material to the same one we use on the Custom Pros, improving durability and minimizing water absorption. Further fortifying the exterior is our exclusive Tatex Flex Spine. The Flex Spine stiffens the back of the boot to act as a shoe-horn and also provides a sticky surface to grab your wetsuit leg and prevent flushing. The inside is lined with a plush quick-dry lining material for max airflow, improving warmth and comfort.

Solite EZ-O CuffSolite Overkill Seams
Our EZ-O cuff design provides a seamless barrier against flushing with a larger panel than other o-ring seals, providing much easier on-off and reducing stress on the seams. To reduce bulk under the wetsuit leg and allow for easier on-off, the EZ-O panel is reduced to 2mm thickness. Since booties take serious abuse, we cut no corners on our neoprene seam construction. Our Overkill neoprene seams are triple-glued, blind-stitched, then sealed on the exterior with Liquid Seam Seal for maximum durability and longevity.

Reinforced Stealth-Loop
To ease on/off, we’ve integrated our low-profile Stealth-Loop in the heel. The Stealth Loop is laminated between the neoprene and our co-molded rubber/textile heel reinforcement patch, providing incredible durability and pull-strength. The Stealth Loop is also Tatex-coated for extra strength and zero-water absorption.

Split-Toe Heat-Booster Socks in the Box
The unsung hero of our Solite “System”, our Knit Split-Toe Heat-Booster Socks are included in the box. Knit from a Nylon/Poly/Spandex blend, the Heat-Boosters stay warm and comfortable when wet. Benefits of the Heat Boosters are numerous:

Makes boots easier on-off and reduces stress on seams.
Increases comfort by providing a soft barrier between the feet and the Thermofoam sole.
Adds warmth to extend session length and comfort.
Absorbs excess water from flushing to prevent puddling in the boots.
Absorbs bacteria to reduce bootie-stink.
Machine wash and dry for convenience.
