Just as with other Fourth Element gear, you can expect the Pelagic boots to be well-made and comfortable.

The 6.5-mm Fourth Element Pelagic boots are perfect for boat diving in temperate and colder waters.

They’re a breeze to get on—and keep zipped up—thanks to the long zipper and stopper at the top of the zip.

Although the sole is a little thin for shore diving, there’s plenty of grip for slippery boat decks, docks, and other wet surfaces.

Just as with other Fourth Element gear, you can expect the Pelagic boots to be well-made and comfortable. These 6.5 mm boots are perfect for boat diving in temperate and colder waters. They’re a breeze to get on—and keep zipped up—thanks to the long zipper and stopper at the top of the zip.

Although the sole is a little thin for shore diving, there’s plenty of grip for slippery boat decks, docks, and other wet surfaces. And because the sole is a little thinner, the boots are lightweight and ideal for traveling as well. The ergonomic footbeds and insoles offer a stable base and won’t squeeze your foot while you’re finning. Finally, the fin-strap retainer on the heel ensures that your fins will stay in place underwater.
