The best thing is to try some pairs on - they all do pretty much the same thing, but they're all a slightly different shape and some makes will fit your feet better than others.

As for split toe Vs non-split - personal preference. I dont find the split ones comfy :?

Some boots have got a strap around the ankle and they help your feet stop becoming balloons full of water :wink:

i haven't posted to this board in ages, so i thought it time for me to come back :D

i have split toe boots, wouldn't reccomend them - leash always gets stuck between the two rubber toes, pain when its right when you are turning to get a wave.

my next ones will be standard toe.

Just make sure you try them on and they are a really good fit. If they are a little big they will get full of water and really weight down.
