The Gill Aero 2.0 is the warm, easy option in Gill's boot range: a YKK zip runs down the side so you can get in and out quickly, even with numb fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe upper is 5mm double-lined neoprene, a millimetre thicker than the Edge 2.0, which makes this the warmer of the two for winter sailing and long days on a committee boat. Glued and blindstitched seams keep water ingress down so the warmth stays where it should.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA wide adjustable ankle strap sits over the zip to take the load off the closure and hold the foot steady, so the boot does not shift about when you are moving around the boat. Underfoot is a medium-stiff sole, which is the key difference from the Edge: more flex and more comfort for walking, launching, coaching and general dinghy sailing, but less of the rigid platform that hard hiking demands.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe natural rubber sole wraps around the boot for grip and durability and is non-marking, so it will not leave scuffs across a foredeck or a clubhouse floor. There is moulded textured reinforcement across the bridge for better contact with hiking straps, and the rear ankle has been reworked for more flexibility when you walk.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorth knowing: like most new rubber soles, these can feel slippery for the first few outings until the surface scuffs in. If you sail a skiff and want maximum grip and support from the outset, look at the Edge 2.0 instead.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eGill Aero 2.0 Neoprene Sailing Boot Key Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e5mm double-lined neoprene for warmth in cold conditions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eYKK zip closure for quick and easy entry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWide adjustable ankle strap to reinforce the zip and add support\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMedium-stiff sole balancing support with flex and comfort\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWrap-around non-marking natural rubber sole\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMoulded textured reinforcement across the bridge for hiking strap grip\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGlued and blindstitched seams to reduce water ingress\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUpdated rear ankle construction for improved flexibility\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSizes 39 to 49\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gill","offers":[{"title":"39 UK 5.5","offer_id":58373639700863,"sku":"970-BLK01-39","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"40\/41 UK 6.5-7.5","offer_id":58373639733631,"sku":"970-BLK01-40\/41","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"42 UK 8","offer_id":58373639766399,"sku":"970-BLK01-42","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"43\/44 UK 9-9.5","offer_id":58373639799167,"sku":"970-BLK01-43\/44","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"45\/46 UK 10.5-11","offer_id":58373639831935,"sku":"970-BLK01-45\/46","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"47 UK 12","offer_id":58373639864703,"sku":"970-BLK01-47","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"48 UK 13","offer_id":58373639897471,"sku":"970-BLK01-48","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0138\/5899\/6288\/files\/79437d03-3aa0-499e-aac4-48332d93f884.jpg?v=1788671900","url":"https:\/\/www.sailingchandlery.com\/products\/gill-aero-2-0-sailing-boots-black-zip-entry","provider":"Sailing Chandlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
