ABSTRACT:
Novel surfing footwear is provided which comprises a foot covering in the form of a flexible boot or sandle, preferably open toed, or a thin elastic stocking, the bottom of which includes surf board traction improving means, such as spaced suction cups or the like, integral with the boot, sandle, or stocking, or individually or collectively releasably secured thereto. Preferably, the suction cups extend up around the heel and, in the case of the boot or sandle, may decrease in height from rear to front to permit the surfers' toes to contact the surfboard to "hang ten". The bottom portion of the boot or sandle may be thickened to stabilize the boot or sandle and to make the action of the suction cups more uniform. The footwear is light in weight, inexpensive, durable, and highly effective to increase traction of the surfers' foot on the surfboard for improved surfing.
