It would be nice if DUI comes with a shore-diving version of the turbo soles.

Maybe some extra layer of cordura or kevlar on top of the turbo soles without restricting ankle mobility and some protection at the toes.

It would be a nice solution if entering the water would imply walking over rocks and especially oysters hidden between them.

I was talking to Andy from Hydrotech (UK DUI outlet) at the November Dive show and he showed me a pair of turbo soles they were experimenting with which did have a kevlar layer on the topside of the boot .... in the shape of the re-inforcement of a wetsuit boot.

I haven't seen mention of them since though,
