1. The easiest way to get your legs into your wetsuit is to start by sitting on the floor and by putting your feet through first.
2. Once the wetsuit is over your feet, stand up and gradually using your fingers, starting at your ankles, pull the suit up in small sections. Ensure you pull up the back of the wetsuit, in sections, at the same time and continue doing this until the wetsuit is over your hips and comes comfortably high at the crutch.
Different types of boots

Whether you buy a pair of step-in boots or strap binding boots, you also need to make sure that the pair of boots you buy fit your lower leg as well as your feet.
