Additional Info
Like all of the new Solite 2.0 Series boots, the 8mm Custom 2.0 features a 3D-molded 1mm natural rubber sole, wrapping up the toes and heel for increased durability and protection against rocks, urchins, and reef. The one-piece sole design leaves no exposed gaps between sole pods, insuring extra protection and durability.
The Solite patented heat-moldable 2.0 Thermofoam sole has also been completely redesigned including a Round Toe design for max warmth. The Thermo Foam Sole is 8mm thick in the toes/heels for extra protection and 7mm elsewhere.
Updates to the Custom 2.0 aren't limited to the sole. Solite also upgraded the outer lining material to the same one they use on the Custom Pro/Fire, improving durability and minimizing water absorption. Further fortifying the exterior is their exclusive Tatex Flex Spine. The Flex Spine stiffens the back of the boot, acting as a shoe-horn for easy entry and also providing a sticky surface to grab your wetsuit leg and prevent flushing. The inside is lined with a plush quick-dry lining material for max airflow, improving warmth and comfort.
The Solite EZ-O Cuff design provides a seamless barrier against flushing with a larger panel than other o-ring seals, providing much easier on-off and reducing stress on the seams. To reduce bulk under the wetsuit leg and allow for easier on-off, the EZ-O panel is reduced to 5mm thickness. Since booties take serious abuse, Solite cut no corners on their neoprene seam construction. The Solite Overkill neoprene seams are triple-glued, blind-stitched, then sealed on the exterior with liquid seam seal for maximum durability and longevity.
To ease on/off, Solite integrated their low-profile Stealth-Loop in the heel. The Stealth Loop is laminated between the neoprene and the Solite co-molded rubber/textile heel reinforcement patch, providing incredible durability and pull-strength. The Stealth Loop is also Tatex-coated for extra strength and zero-water absorption.
The 8mm Customs include a pair of the Solite 1mm Neoprene Round-Toe Heat-Booster Socks in the box. These socks are a critical component of the Solite "system", particularly in the frigid waters where the 8mm Customs are used. Benefits of the 1mm Neoprene socks are numerous:
- Add 5-10F warmth to the boots for longer sessions in frigid conditions
- Increase comfort with a soft, plush barrier between the foot and the Thermofoam sole
- Make the boots easy on/off with a low-friction outer surface
- Keep boots smelling fresh since the socks can be easily washed/dried separately
