Solite Boots Tech
- Thermo-Foam Sole: Injection molded from our proprietary foam blend, the Solite sole can be heat-molded with boiling water for a perfect custom fit. Seamless construction means no more leaks, more comfort, and more durability. Arch support is integrated into the molded sole for all-day comfort. This patent-pending wetsuit bootie construction makes Solite boots the lightest and warmest on the market. The formula is simple: light foam=more air=more insulation=warmer feet.
-
Stitchless Upper/Lower Seam: Double-sealed seam between the molded sole and neoprene upper. A waterproof glued inside seam is reinforced with a liquid-weld outer seam for maximum durability and flexibility. This stitchless seam design means more comfort and no stitch holes to leak or rip.
- Eco-Friendly Neoprene Upper: We use non-petroleum based neoprene with the optimum blend of tear strength, warmth, and flexibility. We purposely avoid "super stretch" grades, which work great for large panels on wetsuits, but tear easily on small-panels in wetsuit booties.
- Quad-Sealed Seams: Neoprene seams on the Custom are glued, blind-stitched, taped on the inside, and liquid-welded on the outside for the ultimate in seam strength while still retaining flexibility and stretch.
- Quick-Dry Thermo Lining: Plush neoprene inside lining provides extra warmth, comfort, and stretch while still drying fast.
- Fused-Edge Cuff: Inside and outside lining materials on the neoprene cuff are fused together in a thin, durable cuff which sits flush on your leg. This thin cuff-edge directs water from leg-flushes OUTSIDE the boot, rather than inside it.
- Pressure-Bonded Heel Loop: For extra durability, our heel loop is stitched to a hidden textile patch, then sandwiched with high-strength glue between the boot neoprene and an outer rubber patch. This provides leak-proof durability with no stitches penetrating the neoprene.
- Natural Rubber Sole Pods: Sourced directly from our factory's own rubber-tree forest, our ultra-thin (<1mm) sole pods provide barefoot board-feel with protection and abrasion resistance. Small-diamond tread pattern combines great grip on wax/traction pads while still allowing you to shift your feet on the board.

- Quad-Sealed Seams: Neoprene seams on the Custom LTDs are glued, blind-stitched, taped on the inside and liquid-welded on the outside for the ultimate in seam strength while still retaining flexibility and stretch.
- O-Ring Cuff Seal: Seamless o-ring cuff seal provides the best defense against flushing. Unlike other boots with o-ring seals, we use high-stretch double-lining to prevent tears from fingernails.
- Quick-Dry Thermo Lining: Plush, high-pile neoprene inside lining provides extra warmth, comfort, and stretch while still drying fast.
- Tatex Flex Spine: Durable Tatex print "spine" substantially improves durability of neoprene upper when pulling on boots.
- Pressure-Bonded Heel Loop: For extra durability, our heel loop is stitched to a hidden textile patch, then sandwiched with high-strength glue between the boot neoprene and an outer rubber patch. This provides leak-proof durability with no stitches penetrating the neoprene.
- Natural Rubber Sole Pods: Sourced directly from our factory's own rubber-tree forest, our ultra-thin (<1mm) sole pods provide bare-foot board-feel with protection and abrasion resistance. Small-diamond tread pattern combines great grip on wax/traction pads while still allowing you to shift your feet on the board.
- Heat-Booster Socks: Every pair of Custom LTD wetsuit boots includes a pair of Solite Heat-Booster split-toe socks. These socks are knit from a quick-dry poly/nylon/Spandex blend and add a few degrees of extra warmth to your boots for really frigid days. They also make putting on/taking off your boots easier by reducing friction, simultaneously improving the lifespan of your boots by reducing stress on seams and materials.

Full-Wrap Ankle Strap: Our velcro strap-harness wraps completely under and around the sole to comfortably lock the heel in the boot. This full-wrap design eliminates weakness and distortion of the boot common in other strap systems. Our molded hook-strap is lighter than traditional velcro with superior hold in wet, cold conditions.
- Eco-Friendly Neoprene Upper: We use non-petroleum based neoprene with the optimum blend of tear strength, warmth, and flexibility. We purposely avoid "super stretch" grades, which work great for large panels on wetsuits, but tear easily on small-panels in booties.
- Quad-Sealed Seams: Neoprene seams on the Custom Pros are glued, blind-stitched, taped on the inside and liquid-welded on the outside for the ultimate in seam strength while still retaining flexibility and stretch.

This full-wrap design eliminates weakness and distortion of the boot common in other strap systems. Our molded hook-strap is lighter than traditional velcro with superior hold in wet, cold conditions.
- Airprene: Perforated neoprene allows free-flow of water in/out of the boot. The outer lining material filters out sediment/sand while keeping your feet cool and comfortable in warm water.
- Optimized Cuff Height: The cuff on the Custom Reef boot extends over the ankle bone, offering critical protection for reef/rock dances.
- Cord-Lock Cuff: An elastic cord-lock cuff prevents flushes and keeps the boot snug on your feet in heavy conditions. The cord-lock is secured to the outside of each boot cuff for easy access and one-hand adjustment.
- Pressure-Bonded Heel Loop: For extra durability, our heel loop is stitched to a hidden textile patch, then sandwiched with high-strength glue between the boot neoprene and an outer rubber patch. This provides leak-proof durability with no stitches penetrating the neoprene.
