Some frequently asked questions that other customers have asked us about Zhik Boots & Shoes.
Are Zhik sailing boots good for dinghy sailing?
Yes. Zhik sailing boots are a popular choice for dinghy sailors who want grip, warmth, and ankle support on a wet deck. The grippy non-marking soles give you confidence when you are moving around the boat or hiking hard, and the snug fit keeps water out and warmth in. They suit everything from club racing to coastal sailing.
How should Zhik sailing boots fit?
Zhik sailing boots should fit snugly without pinching, much like a wetsuit. A close fit stops water flushing through and keeps the boot secure when you are hiking or moving quickly. If you sail in cold water and want to wear thicker socks underneath, it is worth allowing a little extra room. Check the size guide on each product before you order.
What is the difference between Zhik sailing boots and sailing shoes?
It comes down to conditions and the cover you need. Zhik sailing boots give you ankle support and warmth, which makes them ideal for cold water, dinghy racing, and hard hiking. Zhik sailing shoes are lower cut and lighter, better suited to warmer days, keelboat work, and general use ashore and afloat. Many sailors own both and pick to suit the season.
Can I wear Zhik sailing boots for ILCA and Laser sailing?
Yes. Zhik sailing boots are well suited to single handed classes like the ILCA and Laser, where you spend long periods hiking off the side. The ankle support and grippy soles help you stay locked in and comfortable. You can filter this collection by Laser and ILCA models to find footwear that works well for your boat.
How do I look after my Zhik sailing boots?
Rinse your Zhik sailing boots in fresh water after every sail to clear salt and grit, then dry them away from direct heat. Avoid radiators and tumble dryers, as high heat can damage the neoprene and glued seams. Stored properly and rinsed regularly, a good pair of Zhik sailing boots will last you many seasons on the water.
