Sailing Boots

On cold days when the weather is miserable would you like to avoid:
- Soggy leather shoes that squelch?
- Bruised ankles
- Cold feet
Grip
Boots offer tremendous grip - even on those parts of the deck not covered by non slip. The longer length of the natural rubber means overlap with your foul weather gear.
Your feet stay dry and warm, even when your on the rail. Having warm dry feet can also lead to a better more positive frame of mind on the boat!
Depending on the style you prefer, or the type of boating you do, you have a choice:
- Lengths come in ankle, mid or high
- Materials used are non marking natural rubber for the soles
- Neoprene or rubber uppers, both sealing in the warmth - even when wet
This kevlar / rubber design will look after and regulate your feet in foul weather
The Difference
Wearing sailing boots, makes such a difference. Less distraction on board, enjoying what nature throws at you, rather than being miserable.
Alternatively coming away from your day with cold feet that take hours to thaw, or if you have a hot shower, chill Blane's.
