I've had these booties for three and a half years now. They're thick enough and warm enough to wear while diving in New Jersey in a full suit with hood and gloves but also comfortable enough to wear while diving in the Caribbean. I also wear them to go kayaking in all but the coldest of weather because they protect my feet while getting into/out of the boat and keep my feet warm but I don't need to worry about getting them wet.The bottoms of these are nice and thick with a non-slip tread that has never let me down, whether I'm climbing up a dive boat ladder loaded down with gear or navigating slippery rocks to get to a choice snorkeling spot. They also cover your ankles, which can prevent nasty ankle scrapes when navigating narrow coral swim-throughs.I should note that I have fairly wide feet and these have been the only dive booties I've found that will adequately accommodate the width of my forefoot while being snug enough in the heel.After three and a half years of hard use, these are holding up nicely. There is a slight amount of adhesive visible near the rear of one bootie where the sole has pulled slightly away from the neoprene, but the sole is still fully attached on the bottom. To be honest, if the bottoms fell off of both of these tomorrow (which I don't expect) I would still consider buying them money well spent and then buy another pair.
