This inexpensive shoe from Ascan offers a wide, comfortable entry, but can also be pulled tight using the two Velcro fasteners. The neoprene and sole are extremely soft and comfortable. The six millimetre thick neoprene provides good thermal insulation, but some water gets inside at the seams, which pushes the comfort level up a little.
Technical data:
- Neoprene thickness: 6 mm
- Available sizes: 37-38/39/40-41/42/43-44/45-46/47-48
- Price: 44,90 Euro >> available here
Conclusion:
For a reasonable budget, Ascan offers a warm and comfortable boot that keeps you nice and warm in water up to around 5-7 degrees. If that's not enough, you can upgrade to the 7mm "Titan" model, which has a noticeably thicker sole.
Easy to get started, value for money
