Solite 5mm Custom Pro 2.0 Watersport Boots
Barefoot precision with cold-water protection. The Solite 5mm Custom Pro 2.0 delivers exceptional warmth and control for water temperatures of 7 °C / 45 °F and above. A custom heat-mouldable fit, responsive 3-Point Strap system, and Thermal Rebound lining give these boots a natural, connected feel - keeping your feet warm without losing sensitivity on the board.
What makes these boots good
- 5mm Thermofoam construction – 6 mm toe / heel and 5 mm mid-foot thickness for protection and feedback in moderate-cold water.
- Custom heat-mouldable fit – patented 2.0 Thermofoam sole moulds precisely to your foot using warm water for glove-like comfort.
- Micro-Split internal toe – 1 cm split delivers round-toe warmth with split-toe balance and control.
- 3-Point Strap System + Floating D-Ring – anchors under arch & heel for an even, slip-free fit across all foot shapes.
- Thermal Rebound plush lining – metallic-grid insulation reflects body heat, boosting warmth by ≈10 % and drying fast between sessions.
- 3D moulded natural-rubber sole – wraps toe & heel for impact protection and superior deck traction.
- Tatex Flex-Spine – adds heel support, aids entry and grips your wetsuit leg to reduce flushing.
- EZ-O Cuff seal (3mm) – smooth, low-bulk seal under the wetsuit for comfort and water resistance.
- Overkill Seams – triple-glued, blind-stitched & liquid-sealed for long-term durability.
- Reinforced Stealth-Loop – laminated heel pull for easy entry with zero water absorption.
On-water performance
The Custom Pro 2.0 gives that close, controlled feel normally reserved for barefoot sessions. The heat-moulded fit prevents movement inside the boot, turning board adjustment into instant response. The micro-split toe enhances balance while maintaining warmth, and the Thermal Rebound lining adds comfort for long cold-water paddles or surfs. A flexible EZ-O Cuff and Tatex Flex-Spine integrate neatly with wetsuit legs to minimise flushing and improve durability.

Fit & sizing
Order your regular shoe size or half a size down – the boots expand slightly when heat-moulded. Example: if you’re 10.5, order 10; if you’re 10, stay 10. Narrow or low-volume feet may size down further. To mould: submerge boots in ~60 °C water for 5 minutes, drain, then wear for 10 minutes as they cool. Full heat moulding instructions are included.
FAQ
How warm are they?
Optimised for cold water ≥ 7 °C / 45 °F. The Thermal Rebound lining and included Heat-Booster Socks increase warmth and comfort for longer sessions.
What’s included?
Each pair comes with Solite Knit Split-Toe Heat-Booster Socks – they add warmth, ease entry and can be machine-washed to keep boots fresh.
Do they keep feet dry?
They’re sealed and flush-resistant, but like any neoprene boot, they trap a thin layer of water that warms to body temperature for insulation.
How do they compare to the 8mm Custom Fire 2.0?
The 5mm Custom Pro 2.0 offers greater flexibility and board feel for temperatures above 7 °C, while the 8mm Custom Fire 2.0 is for near-freezing conditions.
Our take
Natural balance, custom comfort and serious warmth. The Solite 5mm Custom Pro 2.0 feels as close to barefoot as a boot gets – with pro-level durability and insulation for year-round paddling and surf.
