Zhik 360 boots are a popular choice for sailors who are constantly hiking, especially in single handers such as a Laser.
The hiking boot design is available in the 360 boot and 560 boot model, the 360 is 4mm thick and the 560 is 2mm thick. Both have a panel on the top of the foot area with a tooth system which locks into the underneath of the toe strap to give you better grip and a better connection with the boat.
Sponsored sailor Chloe Barr sails a Laser Radial, here is what she had to say about the boots.
I've been wearing Zhik 360 boots for about three years now. I first started looking at new boots when I got tendinitis in my ankles, these boots have prevented me from getting it again. The structure of the boot means that its very stiff and strong around the ankle. The grip on-top combined with the toe strap is excellent for getting locked in for kinetics and hiking off the end of your toes, perfect for the first minutes off the start line. I would highly recommend these boots to anyone in a hiking boat!

Read MoreAmazing 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
Excellent service product delivered very quickly and exactly the item I required.
These were fine. But what was an issue was the number of emails I received after.
This is my most used item in my sailing bag. Keeps me warm on colder days underneath layers and I also wear it on top in the summer. The fleece lining inside is very comfortable.
These are brilliant socks. I tuck them inside my Superwarm wetsuit and because the seems are sealed it stops any water getting to my feet.
Small and springy - exactly what I needed !
But usual great service from Sailing Chandlery !!
