Yup aqua seal is the way to go. Or you can go to a tire shop and have them put a patch on it. Because its on the rubber boot they may be able to, as I have heard of people round here doing that.

Hand sew tears closed with dental floss then used aqua seal. Been doing this for years. That’s a great idea, never would have considered that but will in the future

That style boot I'd go tire patch, do it right and some other place will fail before it does.. You want to strengthen bigger rip use rubber cement type glue put some fabric on inside. On boots and dive equipment I stay away from Shoe-Goo and Silicon. Is tire patch and Aqua-Seal for my repairs.

Rubber boots,, patch at tire shop. The patch will outlast the boot. For neoprene, I use Aquaseal.
Rickey X2 take them to the tire repair shop and let them patch them. They have the right equipment and good patches that will hold. Most around here wouldn't even charge you for it but if they did it'd be maybe $5.
