The 5:10 Canyoneer II boots
This is my first impression review of these superb
kayak boots
Firstly the official specifications
-Synthetic leather, with nylon mesh and neoprene
- Buckle and strap
Closure System
- Co-Molded Stealth® C4/S1 soles
the first thing you notice is the quality of these superb boots
they are made from only the finest materials they are very light weight and solid construction they were originally made for
Canyoneering but are fantastic for kayaking they have everything.
They are very comfortable to wear light on your feet
drain well and offer maximum support and protection to the wearer.

The boots fasten with a wide Velcro ankle support and 2 plastic buckle
straps which give maximum comfort and support
The clever design of the boots allow water to drain away very quickly when
worn
And the high ankle support gives maximum support to the heel
The soft neoprene material on the high ankle support has Velcro on the
inside front so when the boots are donned they can be fastened easily and snugly this help a lot with getting the boots on
and off.
With the wrap around ankle support a great advantage is gained because you are
able to open the ankle support wide. It’s no problem getting your foot inside the boot even when wearing a dry suit
with socks and taking them off is just as easy
The material on the sole is a special rubber that is soft to touch yet
tuff its thick enough that you wont feel every stone on the beach and the grip is amazing even on wet rocks .
I think
we have found the ultimate kayak boot with the canyoneer 510 mk2
They offer everything we have been looking for good grip.
Sturdy sole .fantastic comfort and you can get them on and off easily.
They come in all sizes including half sizes.
These
boots can be used both summer and winter.
The retail of the canyoneer 510 mk2 boots is £75.00 which is fantastic value
for the money they are available From paddleworks
