I did the molding but didn't gain the room I wanted in the big toe and instead got more room I didn't want in the heel. I may try it again with an ace bandage wrapped around the heel or perhaps just hot water in the toe.
I do feel like they have gotten more comfortable with use, plus I have very sensitive big toes.
Are the 6mm much thicker in the foot area or just the upper? The 3mm are definitely not 3mm thick in the foot. So I think the thickness is more a measure of neoprene equivalence.

Try thin low socks on your feet inside your booties.

Anybody have the round toe Atan booties? I like the split toe in terms of fit and especially feel with the thin soles (I only need them for warmth not protection, and only use booties when water < 52 degrees), but I find that the split-toe booties are rather wide at front of foot, and the latex is a bit sticky, thus a bit hard to get into and out of footstraps.

Just got back into windsurfing after 5 years. My old booties were shot. So as an experiment, I used my Vibram 5 fingers gym shoes (you know the ones that everybody laughs at. They turned out to be simply the best windsurfing shoes I have ever tried.

Just bought a pair of Xcel 1mm Reef Infinity Split Toe. Extremely comfortable, very thin naked foot feeling, strong enough to walk over sbmerged rocks at Coyote, and cheap from Swim outlet!

I'm still absolutely LOVING my Solites. I'll happily buy another pair every year.
