Hi Need some advice on sourcing feet protectors for swimming on coral reef?

Question

Hi, went to the Maldives 5 years ago and got my feet badly hurt on coral reefs. I noticed some chinese ladies with plastic slip on swimming shoes. They looked like they were made of thick rubber. I cant sorce these Please can someone give some advice as I am going back this year. Many thanks

Answer 1

What you want to look for are swim shoes.  You can find them at Target, WalMart, etc.  They're very inexpensive.

I hope you're talking about protecting your feet when you're walking on the beach on wading in shallow water.  Coral reefs should not be walked on - it kills them.

Answer 2

they are called booties they are made from nieopreme you can get them @ www.primescuba.com or leisurepro.com
