An old classic brought back to life - great boots to use with a dinghy drysuit in cold weather
I've no idea why Aigle decided to discontinue these boots (second hand ones and old stock were swapping hands on ebay for silly prices for a few months after they did). However I'm very glad Neil Pryde have copied/bought the design - and unlike Aigle they come supplied with bungee cord laces fitted with conventional ones in the box so there's no need to source your own!
On tip, if using with a dry suit we found that you need to buy a size up to accommodate socks and drysuit "feet" (ie buy a UK 10 if you're normally a UK 9 and intend to wear them with a drysuit).
