Sailing Boots
Sailing Boots
Sailing boots are a vital part of your sailing attire as they will keep your feet warm, dry and protected in all conditions. Furthermore, sailing boots have grippy, non-slip soles that provide maximum traction on deck, no matter how bad the weather is.
What are the best sailing boots?
Made from a supple full grain leather lined with insulated GORE-TEX, Dubarry Ultima Sailing Boots are warm, waterproof and completely breathable, making them perfect for year-round use. The Dubarry sailing boots have an award-winning non-slip, non-marking sole constructed from a technical compound of rubber and polyurethane that provides superb grip, whilst remaining hard and durable. Thanks to this, the sailing boots will not mark decks, hulls, or even plastic.
What are the best budget sailing boots?
For a budget buy, look no further than Gill's Tall Yachting Sailing Boots. These 100% waterproof sailing boots are created using a 100% natural rubber compound with a quick-drying and breathable polyester lining. The Gill sailing boots have a deep and grippy sole that is rare for wellies, providing the boots with enough friction to be used as a cruising boot offshore, even in troublesome conditions.
