Zhik boots are fantastic and they're one of the most popular items we sell. However, if you've tried a pair on, or have spoken to anyone about them you'll know that the sizing isn't great.
Zhik sailing boots have always come up small, Zhik have made adjustments but you still need to go up a size. Follow our detailed sizing information so you get the right size the first time.
Being an online company we've worked hard to make the sizing information as clear as possible to avoid the frustration of having to return them to us for a swap.

These are surprisingly difficult to find in chandleries which is surprising as they’re very useful for attaching boat hooks/deck brushes to the handrail. Low tech but good quality.
Good product, prompt delivery. I've tried various options for securing the clew to the boom but none are as effective or easy to release as this strap.
Very quick and user friendly service. Would recommend and will use again.
I had it sent to my son, who will bring it to the US with him next month, so I cant write a review until I get it!
I needed this small pin urgently for a sail training night, and it arrived in good time
Amazing service, the staff got our order in with no issue and quick delivery. The replica mast are a perfect alternative.
Excellent service. Arrived very quickly. Highly recommend, have used Sailing Chandlery several times - always quick and efficient.
I have the 270 boots 2020, But these 170 boots are great, much easier to get on and off and very grippy and comfortable
Great range of products, very efficient service, item arrived well packed and on time
Really strong, does what it needs to!
Great product, does the job for a good price
Perfect product at good price and fast delivery. Thank you.
Best spring/summer hiking wetsuit.
As per usual the Sailing Chandlery team got these to me in a flash! Amazing service!!!
I have previously used the Superwarm version of this hiker and it was brilliant!
I purchased these as I get far too hot in my winter hikers during the sweaty summer months!
Only used once so far, but were warm enough in 15 degrees C and worked exactly as expected!
Good size handle, comfortable grip. I find I have to go down a size in needle than that advised for the rope I’m splicing.
Fantastic service and reasonable prices
