Am I understanding correctly that the ankle strap that is attached to the boot is wearing out the material that is under it?
Yes ... I love my Santi suit, but the boots are a chronic weakness. The ankle strap tends to wear holes in the neoprene, causing the boots to leak. The ones on my old Santi eSpace suit had to get replaced three times over the life of the suit. The ones on my current eMotion suit only lasted about seven months before I had to replace them.
But this time I sent it to a drysuit repair company down in Oregon who could replace them with a sturdier boot, and a one-week turnaround, for around $200. Now I love my Santi suit even more ... because I like the replacement boots better than I liked the Santi boots that it came with.
