The End of the Generic Surf Boot.
Introducing the Colby + Yamamoto Tech-Tailored Bootie (3.5mm)
Your feet are the most critical point of connection to your surfboard, yet for decades, wetsuit brands have ignored this fact. Booties have been constrained by traditional footwear manufacturing methods, including vulcanization that compromises the neoprene before you even hit the water, and poor fit that forces surfers to rely on uncomfortable split toes and bulky strapping.
We're changing that. It's time for a precision fit and absolute top-of-the-line materials and construction.
The Colby + Yamamoto Tech-Tailored Bootie utilizes the same revolutionary principles developed for our custom 3D-printed line, delivering a 3.5mm bootie that provides unparalleled fit, connection, warmth, and comfort.
The Tailored Fit
Forget the one-size-fits-none approach. The Colby + Yamamoto bootie is the first to recognize that foot shape is not universal.
We have engineered two distinct internal toebox shapes to dramatically improve fit and eliminate the slop that kills board feel:
THE E TOEBOX: Featuring a longer big toe (the most common shape).
Together, these two shapes address approximately 85% of feet among North American males, ensuring that your bootie fits your foot, not a compromise. Furthermore, we offer each shape in half sizes from 7 to 13, guaranteeing the most precise fit available in a stock surf boot.
Elite Materials. Zero Compromise Construction.
We only use premium materials and proprietary methods, including vacuum-bagging, for a boot that fits and performs:
- YAMAMOTO NEOPRENE: The gold standard in flexibility and warmth.
- SCHOELLER KEVLAR LINING: Engineered for exceptional durability and strength.
- PROPRIETARY POLYMER COATING: Delivers superior traction but supple enough to help create a “better-than-barefoot” connection to your board.
By avoiding vulcanization, the integrity and stretch of the Yamamoto neoprene are preserved, delivering maximum warmth and superior performance.
Foot-to-Board Connection is Everything
Sure, a wetsuit is an important piece of gear...But, isn't the bootie WAY more important? Because the Tech-Tailored Bootie precisely contours to your foot shape, you achieve:
- Maximum Board Feel: Supple enough to let your foot move like bare feet…with the traction that booties deliver.
- Zero Internal Movement: Say goodbye to awkward internal split toes or compression straps designed to mask a bad fit. The colby + yamamoto bootie stays put, allowing your foot to flex naturally and powerfully.
- Unrivaled Warmth: The precise fit reduces water flushing, keeping you warmer for longer sessions.
- Drama-Free Pop-Up: And for you surfers with decades of experience (yes, we mean old guys), we know how hideous a rolled toe feels when a poor-fitting bootie “catches” when you’re popping up. It usually ruins your wave and likely makes your foot hurt for over a week. That’s OVER.
🇺🇸 Made to Perform. Made in Huntington Beach.
The majority of our manufacturing is done right here in our facility in Huntington Beach, CA. This close oversight guarantees the quality, consistency, and precision that define the Colby + Yamamoto brand.
Don't just wear a bootie. Wear a tailored extension of your foot.

Your Tech-Tailored booties will ship within 5 days of your order being placed!
Please note, you'll need to take care of your boots. They're carefully built using two layers of Kevlar, but they aren't impenetrable. These aren't the boots you should wear to walk over broken glass in a parking lot. You'll need to take care of them just as you would a tailored suit or pair of nice leather shoes.

Size Chart
If you have any questions about fit, please hit us up - we'd love to help you get the right size on your first try! Please note, the fit on our clearance inventory is slimmer and slightly longer...And you'll find the clearance suits to be less flexible and a bit tougher to get on and off. The Colby + suits have a more generous opening, are noticeably lighter and more flexible, BUT are slightly shorter in the torso, arms and legs. So, if you're in between sizes, we recommend going with the "taller" size for the Colby + suits.
If it helps, we do offer free shipping, return and exchanges; so if you do decide to go for it, give the suit a good honest try on at home knowing the Yamamoto material will act differently than traditional neoprene. Our suits do tend to "vacuum" seal (since we use Yamamoto with liquid taped seams), so please keep in mind that the suit will form to your body more than what you're used to.
