SAILING BOOTS AND SHOES

Sailing Shoes and Boots

On deck, grip matters as much as judgement. Sailing shoes and boots are built to hold on wet, angled surfaces where ordinary footwear would slip. The sole makes the difference: a siped tread, a soft compound and non-marking technology that leaves no marks on the deck.

Sailing and deck shoes, low or ankle-cut, are ideal for racing and summer cruising thanks to fast drainage, a breathable upper and great boat feel. As cold and water increase you move to sailing boots: a tall shaft, warm lining and waterproofing to keep feet dry in the cockpit.

How to pick the size? For shoes aim for a precise fit, for boots leave room for a technical sock. Consider ankle support, ease of entry and how quickly they dry.
