What are the pros and cons of RockBoots vs. Turbo Soles?
RockBoots are designed to provide greater stability on uneven surfaces. They are available in (US) sizes 4-15. The soft sock and RockBoot combination affords the ability to comfortably fit a wide range of foot sizes in the stock size sock. With the RockBoot taking the abuse from clamoring over rocks etc., your suit integrity is protected. Some divers prefer to have built in boots simply because it is one less thing they have to remember and put on when getting ready for a dive. For those divers, turbo soles are ideal as they are very low profile compared to many other built in boots on the market. They will often fit into smaller fins and are less bulky feeling than other designs. The sole is available in a few distinct sizes (S, M, L, and XL), so there may be people that have a hard time getting a good fit. Divers with very wide or narrow feet and those with very large feet will usually find a better fit with the RockBoots.
