    I used to swear by my 5 mils until I got 7 mils. But I'm a bit up the coast in Maine, so 5 mils should be fine unless your feet get cold easy.

    You post gay ass spam from a gay ass contest and a bunch of other gay ass people come and spam. WTF did you think would happen?

    5mm v 7mm? Buy a trip to Hawaii.

    If your core is warm, 5 or 7mm won't make too much of a difference,buy what fit'sbest and feels best, it sucks to have ronald mcdonald shoes on while surfing.
    A trip to Hawaii is worth it,or Puerto Rico from your side of the planet.

    i use 7mm Rip Curl booties. i have had them for about 4 yrs. now, no complaints. They are super warm, never had any cold feet problems.
