What are scuba boots used for?

Answer 1

If you have chosen to use open heel fins over the closed foot fins, you will then have to also prepare to invest in a pair of Scuba boots. There are several great reasons for using scuba booties and I recommend that you buy a pair even if you have decided to use the closed foot fins. Why? ... Besides good wetsuit boots can be used even for swimming. They offer a great protection for your feet against cuts and abrasions while entering or exiting the water especially on rocky shores where you might likely encounter sea urchins or stinging creatures
