'Many of you will know that ATAN has for many years made the most flexible and warmest boot available in the market, particularly distinguished from the competition by their incredible "Barefoot feeling" sole. This "Barefoot feeling" is achieved by using a natural latex dip process which is unique to ATAN.
These boots are light, flexible, comfortable, warm, durable, very supple, and competitively priced.
MISTRAL - Surf boot, available in 3mm glued and blindstitched lined with neoprene plush titanium with a fine latex sole, barefoot feeling. A strap around the leg.
Sizing and care: These are so comfortable, and warm and definitely feel like sailing in bare feet. Aim for a tight fit like climbing shoes for that awesome barefoot feel, maybe even a size smaller than your normal shoe size. Due to the soft tacky rubber construction, they have great grip and are really easy to get into foot straps. Atan boots are not particularly durable for lots of walking around in, especially if your usual launch area is rocky or with lots of sharp mussel shells but if you rig up first, put your Atan's on last and watch where you are walking, they will last you for many seasons to come. Rinse with clean water and maybe wetsuit shampoo, and dry out of the sunlight .'
