Manera X10D 3mm Boots – UK 8 – The Foiling Collective

The MANERA X10D split toe boot is made to be forgotten. Extremely light, it brings a direct contact with the board and provides the closest sensation to being barefoot.
Most of us delay the “boots time” as much as possible: We feel like we lose the board feeling, we’re less precise, our feet slide inside… Many reasons that pushed them to design their own range.
MANERA offers boots for those who don’t like boots: They keep you warm and comfy, but they are made to be forgotten once in the water while still offering great foot support.

Technologies
X10D Jersey – The X10D fabric not only provides maximum stretch and lightness, but also a smooth, silky feeling on the skin.

Donut cuff – The boots are closed by a donut cuff which prevents any water from coming in and fill up the boot.

Sealing prints – The sealing print around the shin brings a better grip between the wetsuit and the boot. Coupled with the wetsuit SEALING PRINT, it prevents the wetsuit’s leg from rolling up.

Split toe – X10D boots feature a split toe. It offers a great foot support and a more natural movement.

Foot support – Foot support is essential to get a comfortable and performing neoprene boot. MANERA boots feature “SIDEWALLS” on each side of the foot to maintain it. They also use a stiffer neoprene around the front of the foot in order to hold the boot structure. Without these features the foot would be able to slide or the boot would deform, which would lead the user to lose his balance, lack precision or even get hurt.

Direct drive – MANERA soles are super thin in order to keep a direct and precise contact between the foot and the board. The micro-spikes on the sole provide a perfect grip on wax or on a pad.
