Booties

By Nicholas McLaren, About.com

Definition: In colder water it is normal to wear neoprene boots with open heeled fins to keep the feet warm. These boots are normally called booties. They are also used to protect the feet, particularly when shore diving, and some divers find them more comfortable than full foot fins.
Also Known As: Diving boots
