Blue Seventy swim booties Can't Post
doing a tri next weekend (which includes half mile lake swim), and now that the water is cold, was thinking of getting the Blue Seventy swim booties to keep my feet warm. I have lousy circulation in my feet (why I don't ski), and if they are uncovered, by the time I get out of cold water I can't feel my toes. Are these legal for a race?

Hi,

They are legal (fins are not........search last months threads)

Makes sure and try and put the wetsuit bottom ober the top of the bootie, it cuts down on water filling them.

Keep em on 'til t1 if you can and you have clean feet to put in your cycling shoes

Cheers

Yes they are but they will slow you down.

Curious to hear your definition of cold water... Spirit of Racine was 54 degrees and that was in the middle of July.

why would they slow you down? if you have good ankle flew, would it still be an issue?
