My ancient Dacors just gave out. My LDS has some women's Aqualungs but they have no zipper and I can just see how the stress of pulling them on will cause them to wear out faster. Does anyone have any suggestions for booties that aren't just men's booties in smaller sizes* ? Bonus points if they fit narrow feet. Thanks for any advice.

* Only men believe in "unisex" sizes.

What size are you? I'm a women's size US 7 (barely) and use the Aqualung Superzip Ergo boot. I found them to fit on the small and narrow side. They are unisex but I don't think there are women specific booties.

I have the same as @Dogbowl. Aqualung ergo zipper.
 
I have the Ellie. Wear Lycra socks and the lack of zipper isn’t a problem. They glide on and off easily. Not having the zipper is actually great when you happen to dive colder water as well. Most of my diving is 4-5 dives a day vacation diving so these boots have been on and off many times in a row for the long run. I bring cement seal for repairs just in case and haven’t had to use it yet.

The Ergo Super Zip as mentioned is the one Mr OOO has and he also likes it but I found the fit and comfort of the Ellie better for me.
 
The Fourth Element Amphibians were a recommendation from my LDS. They are the best booties I have ever owned. Have only used them for tropical diving and the fit is good for "narrower" women's feet.

Thanks for all the responses. I ended up buying the AquaLung Superzip today. They were quite comfortable and did indeed fit well; my feet didn't feel "lost" inside.
 
Wow a thread about women’s booty that’s not a troll!
 
FWIW, since women's calves come down farther than men's, in my experience the most important feature in a bootie for women is that little velco tab the helps keep the zipper up. Without it, the zipper often unzips by its self.
