The JAPAN MADE surf boots "SURF LITE", which sold out shortly after arriving last year, are now in stock for the first time in 2023!

Released by NEXT LEVEL, a long-established wetsuit company that developed the world's first 9-part, 1mm wetsuit and quickly became famous around the world for its high level of technology, SURF LITE is a surf boot that defies conventional wisdom, as it can be worn as if barefoot. SURF LITE is the ultimate surf boot that offers an unprecedented fit. "The structure of boots that stand on their own without the foot at the center of the ankle is not the right answer!" These ultra-functional boots have a unique special structure that allows them to bend inward, effectively transferring the power generated by the knees unconsciously bending inward to the feet. The toe area uses a special friction-resistant fabric that grips the toes without being too tight, reducing snagging, and the adhesive part is "seamless" to create the best possible fit with compression. Furthermore, the toe area is made of a fabric that has a silky feel and excellent heat retention, preventing water from entering to the maximum extent possible without any adjustments. Of all the materials, the radial sole is the closest to feeling barefoot, and the sole coating is set to provide optimal grip to prevent the forefoot from getting caught, providing comfortable cushioning and a perfect fit to the foot even with water pressure in waves and other conditions. The ankles are made of a special brushed material that stretches and generates heat, generating heat as you move. The heel part is made of synthetic leather, which not only gives it an impactful appearance but also provides just the right amount of firmness, and the pull strap allows you to ensure a secure fit to your feet! [ap_show_item 96899] Boots are a must-have item for surfing in Japan in the middle of winter, right? We highly recommend SURF LITE to anyone who has put up with or avoids wearing surf boots for various reasons, such as "your feet get caught when taking off" or "your feet lose sensation in the soles of your feet"!
