Product Information
The Scubapro Everflex Arch Dive Boot 5mm is a 5mm X-Foam neoprene dive boot with a built-in arch design and a wide foot pocket, made for recreational divers who want a cramp-free fit without a zipper. The 5mm neoprene is laminated with super-stretch nylon so the boot pulls on by its front and back webbing loops, and a Diamond Span interior lining adds warmth and fast drying.
Who it is for
This boot suits recreational scuba divers, including divers with wider feet or those who cramp in narrow boots, since the arch shape follows the foot's natural anatomy and the foot pocket is cut wide. The 5mm thickness gives thermal protection through most of the boot while a thinner upper ankle area keeps bulk down, and the cushioned, abrasion-resistant toe box adds protection at the front of the boot. It is offered in eight sizes, 2XS through 3XL, in a Black/Gray boat-style color with logo.
Key details
- Thickness: 5 mm neoprene
- Material: X-Foam limestone-based neoprene, laminated with super-stretch nylon
- Lining: Diamond Span interior for warmth and quick drying
- Closure: no zipper, with webbing puller loops front and back
- Sole: built-in arch support with a molded fin strap keeper on the heel cap
- Weight: 1.3 lb in size 2XS (item 57.044.000) and 1.74 lb in size L (item 57.044.400)
Compatibility and sizing
Sizes run 2XS, XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL. Because the 5mm boot adds volume around the foot, confirm that your open-heel fin foot pocket has room for it. The molded heel strap keeper is designed to hold the fin strap in place and prevent slippage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What thickness of dive boots, gloves, or hood should I choose?
As a general rule, thicker neoprene insulates more, so colder water pushes you toward thicker accessories, but fit, dive length, and personal cold tolerance matter as much as the millimeter number. Divers commonly lose a great deal of heat through the head, so a hood is often the highest-value warmth upgrade for the money. Remember that every added piece of neoprene also adds buoyancy you will need to account for.
How should dive boots fit?
Boots should fit like a snug athletic shoe, with no heel lift and no crushed toes; a little water inside is normal, a sloshing pocket is not. Try them on with the socks you would actually dive, and remember your fin foot pocket has to accommodate the boot. Hard-sole boots protect on rocky shore entries, while soft-sole boots are lighter and pack smaller for boat and travel diving.
How should dive gloves fit?
Gloves should be snug across the palm with fingertips reaching the ends without bunching, since trapped air and loose fingertips destroy dexterity. Thicker gloves are warmer but make buckles, clips, and inflator buttons harder to operate, so choose the thinnest glove that keeps you comfortable in your conditions. Try working a clip or buckle while wearing them before you commit.
How should a dive hood fit?
A hood should seal around the face and neck without restricting your throat or jaw, and lie flat on your head without pulling the mask strap out of position. A loose hood flushes cold water continuously, while an overly tight one is distracting and uncomfortable. Many hoods have a vent to release air trapped during descent, so check yours and burp out any trapped air before you go down.
Why does new neoprene feel so tight?
New neoprene compresses and relaxes with use, so a boot, glove, or hood that feels firm out of the packaging usually settles slightly after a few dives. It should still be snug afterward rather than loose, because neoprene that stretches into a loose fit was probably oversized to begin with. Buy for a snug fit when new, but never for a fit that restricts circulation or breathing.
Do I need to change my weighting when I add a hood, gloves, and boots?
Yes, because every piece of neoprene you add is buoyancy, and a hood, boots, and thick gloves together can shift your weighting noticeably. Do a proper buoyancy check any time you change your exposure protection rather than assuming your usual weight still works. The weight-check procedure is covered in your training, and a dive professional can help you re-do it.
How do I care for dive boots, gloves, and hoods?
Rinse them inside and out in fresh water after every dive day, since they hold sweat and salt more than any other gear, and dry them fully inside-out before packing. Dry them out of direct sunlight and never on a heater, because heat hardens neoprene and weakens glued seams. Store them dry and unfolded, as damp neoprene sealed in a bag is how gear picks up a permanent smell.
Does the Everflex Arch boot have a zipper?
No. The Everflex Arch Dive Boot uses a no-zipper design. The 5mm neoprene is laminated with super-stretch nylon so the boot stretches enough to pull on, and webbing puller loops at the front and back give you something to grip while donning. Skipping the zipper keeps the boot's profile streamlined while the stretch laminate still allows easy donning.
What makes the arch design different from a standard dive boot?
The arch design follows the natural anatomy of the foot and includes built-in arch support in the sole, which Scubapro pairs with a wide foot pocket for a cramp-free fit. Divers who cramp in flat, narrow boots or who have wider feet are the main beneficiaries. The heel cap also carries a molded fin strap keeper to stop the fin strap from sliding.
What sizes does the Scubapro Everflex Arch 5mm boot come in?
It is published in eight sizes: 2XS, XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL. Weight varies with size, listed at 1.3 lb for the 2XS (item 57.044.000) and 1.74 lb for the L (item 57.044.400). Since a 5mm boot adds volume, check that your open-heel fin foot pocket has room before choosing a size.
What is X-Foam neoprene?
X-Foam is Scubapro's limestone-based, petroleum-free neoprene, used here for the boot's 5mm body. It complies with PAH and REACH regulations. Inside, a Diamond Span lining adds warmth and helps the boot dry quickly between dives. Note that the product carries a California Prop 65 warning regarding Bisphenol A (BPA).
