Wetsuit shoes are an essential part of the equipment of every kitesurfer who wants to kitesurf in cold water. These shoes not only offer protection against the cold, but also against sharp objects in the water and abrasion from the kitesurfboard. At Shaka, the kitesurf shop in Scheveningen, you will find a wide range of wetsuit shoes from different brands and materials. In this text we will discuss why wetsuit shoes are so important and why Mystic and Ion shoes are the better options on the market.

Firstly, wetsuit shoes offer protection against the cold. In cold water, the body can quickly become hypothermic, increasing the risk of hypothermia. Wearing shoes ensures that the feet stay warm and the kitesurfer can stay in the water longer. In addition, the shoes also offer protection against sharp objects in the water, such as rocks, shells and stones, which can cause injuries to the feet. In addition, wetsuit shoes can prevent the kitesurfboard from rubbing on the feet, preventing blisters and other skin irritations.

At Shaka we sell different brands of wetsuit shoes, but we especially recommend the shoes from Mystic and Ion. These brands offer the best quality and protection for the feet. Mystic's shoes are made of flexible neoprene and have a thin sole with grip, so you are not only protected against the cold and sharp objects, but also have a feeling of freedom while wearing the shoes. The sole of the Ion shoes is also thin and flexible, but still offers sufficient grip on the kitesurfboard. These shoes are light and comfortable, so you hardly notice that you have them on.

In conclusion, wetsuit boots are an important part of kitesurfer equipment in cold weather conditions. They offer protection against the cold, sharp objects in the water and chafing of the kitesurfboard on the feet. At Shaka you can find a wide range of wetsuit shoes from different brands, but the shoes from Mystic and Ion are the better options on the market.
