Sole grip
We have developed diamond patterns with different depths, for a good grip on the boat deck and good water drainage.
The rubber in the sole offers good grip on the boat deck.
The combination of the build, the diamond pattern and the rubber material makes for a product with good grip for sailing.
How does the water drain from the shoe?
The insole is perforated at the front and back, and drainage channels are located on the heel and front of the foot, on the side of the shoe. So water can escape.
And if you walk in a puddle, water won’t enter through the sole as the channels are on the side and not underneath.
Do I need to wear socks with this type of shoe?
For better comfort, we recommend you wear the shoes with socks.
Wearing waterproof socks is definitely possible. We developed the drainage system for water entering the shoe to allow it to be evacuated through the sides.
Our maintenance tips
To protect your nostrils as well as those of your crew, we recommend that you:
- wear socks with your shoes
- rinse your shoes with clean water (do not machine wash, the drum could damage the mesh of the shoe)
- leave to dry after each use to prevent the build-up of bacteria
