Neoprene Boots vs Neoprene Booties - Which Is Right For You?
In this collection, you’ll find that we offer both neoprene boots and neoprene booties - what are the differences between these classifications?

Well, they differ in terms of how high up the footwear comes. As you can imagine, booties are a smaller version of water boots. They end at your ankle, whereas water boots will come up your shin a few inches. And both are made from neoprene, which differs from other water shoes or water socks.
When shopping for yourself, consider how much protection you want from cold water and what other clothing or kayak gear you’ll wear.
Why Buy Kayak Booties At Outdoorplay?
Nobody offers a better selection of kayak boots and booties than we do at Outdoorplay. We source from the top vendors in the industry, like NRS and Astral, and offer these products at affordable prices so you can enjoy what you love without breaking the bank.
Many of our neoprene booties include a convenient side-entry zipper that makes it simple to put on over bare feet, wet socks, or kayak drysuit socks. Our water boots come available in varying sole thicknesses so that you can choose the right pair for your next adventure.
These paddle booties aren’t the only type of paddling footwear we offer! You’ll also find standard neoprene shoes and socks to keep your feet dry and warm.
Along with footwear, we have covered all your other kayak accessories - from clothing to kayak paddles and everything in between!

With so many great options, the only tricky part is determining which pair of water booties is right for you - they’re all pretty amazing!
Rest assured, they’ll get the job done, too. They don’t just look stylish and professional - they’ll give you the confidence you need to scramble ashore or venture out into the water. We promise you’re safe from rocks, slips, and water-dwelling creatures!
The Kinetic is an excellent choice if you want more traditional NRS neoprene paddling booties. Made of 3mm neoprene with a 1.5mm rubber non-marking sole, the unisex Kinetics are low profile and very flexible, making them popular for all types of boating. A naturally shaped toe box provides a roomy, non-binding fit to help with your balance, whether scrambling over rocks or standing up on your paddleboard. If you are looking for neoprene boots to cover your ankle bones but still keep a low profile for those tighter cockpits, check out the 3mm double-lined neoprene Kokatat Seeker Kayak Shoes. These pull-on boots are ultra-lightweight and highly flexible and offer a single-hand adjustable shock cord lacing with a neoprene cover to prevent snags.
You may need NRS neoprene boots over the attached socks of a drysuit or pants, and you want something easy on and off without crushing your toes. The zippered Men’s and Women’s Paddle Wetshoes from NRS are the way to go! These wet shoes are built to last by combining thick neoprene uppers with a soft, warm interior, supportive shims, and reinforced materials in high-wear areas. And they are a staff favorite, too!
Popular with sea kayakers, ocean boaters, and canoeists are the NRS Boundary Boots. 5 mm neoprene uppers, liquid-sealed exterior, and taped interior seams guarantee warmth and dry feet. They are the perfect boots for mucky put-ins and soggy portages. These knee-high waterproof boots are ready for your next water adventure! And should you need additional warmth with them, the Boundary Neoprene Socks are designed to be as tall as the boots.
If you need extra warmth, use a neoprene sock to act like a wetsuit for your feet. NRS makes Neoprene Sandal Socks worn with your sandals and are great for keeping sand from getting between your toes and holding in heat. There are also 2mm Neoprene socks that are a bit taller, like the Level 6 Photon Neoprene Socks or the NRS Neoprene Wetsocks. The Kokatat Hydrus Launch Socks help keep your feet completely dry in extreme conditions. Waterproof and breathable Hydrus 3.0 fabric repels water and transfers water vapor, while a durable outer layer provides protection. You can wear these over socks and under your paddle booties.
Helpful Tips to Remember: If you are a ½ size, go up. Women’s sizes are usually one (1) size down from the unisex sizing. And if you are wearing shoes or boots over a drysuit or dry pants with attached socks, you’ll want to make sure that you go up a size to allow room for the fleece or wool socks you’ll be wearing underneath for warmth. It’s not uncommon to have summer paddling shoes and a size larger pair for winter.
