I've sprayed my feet with Flex Seal Rubber Sealant a few times in the past. It only last a couple of weeks but it works great! Only problem is it looks a bit funky when wearing flip flops.

Reef used to make a pair I liked, but they're out of production now.

This RipCurl Low Split Toe 1.5mm is currently the most low profile thinnest booty I've found. Some of the other brands have really thick soles and you lose board feel. This one isn't too bad;

Those swiss protection socks look SICK... Exactly what I am looking for. Currently rocking an old pair of 3mm oneills but they are not the most comfortable and are bulky. I hope I can pick up those socks or something similar in Canada

If anyone gives these a test run, would definitely be interested in hearing what they thought.

I've used the The Rip Curl split toe for surfing.
It's very comfortable and has good direct feel with the board. If you need a warm bootie, i would suggest looking for something else.

I used the Neil Pryde 3k series when I used to teach
Very comfy and durable

seems like the problem is on the footstraps, because my booties are quite slim, but even trying to fit them with my hands in the straps is difficult, so i guess i need to change the straps/foot pads, but i'm not sure whitch ones would be ok/ fit the airush switch board and be easier to get my feet in. thanks for the comments.

I also use the oneill superfreak tropical 2mm. When I'd like to be barefoot, but the beach environment doesn't allow it. Very light with a mesh top, so you feel the water nicely.
