Warm, secure and built for UK winter sessions — the C-Skins Wired 5mm Hidden Split Toe Boots use taped seams and a asymmetric arch support to keep your feet comfortable from first paddle to last.
The Wired is C-Skins' dedicated winter boot, built in 100% Xtend neoprene with a quick-dry ThermoTech Xtend thermal lining. The hidden split toe gives a bit more board feel and control than a round toe design, while the glued and blindstitched seams — backed up by stretchy Xtend Fusion Isolation taped seams — cut down on water flushing through the cold months.

FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
No wetsuit boot is fully waterproof. The glued/blindstitched seams and taped seam tape are there to reduce water flushing in and out, which keeps your feet noticeably warmer — but some water ingress at the ankle is normal with any neoprene boot.
Split toe or round toe — which is better?
A hidden split toe, like this one, typically gives a touch more board feel and control underfoot. A round toe tends to retain slightly more warmth since the toes sit together. Both are good choices for UK winter conditions; it comes down to personal preference.
What conditions are these boots best for?
5mm is our standard recommendation for UK winter sessions — surfing, SUP, windsurfing, kitesurfing and general cold-water watersports.
How should they fit?
Wetsuit boots should fit snugly, true to your normal shoe size, to minimise water flushing and keep the fit secure.
What sizes do you stock?
We stock UK6 through UK12, all in 5mm.
