The Gill Junior Edge 2.0 gives them the support to hike properly and the warmth to stay out for the whole session rather than asking to come in early.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is the junior version of Gill's Edge 2.0, built on the same design rather than a softened down version of it. The upper is 4mm double-lined neoprene with glued and blindstitched seams, so feet stay warm through winter training and spring open meetings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFit comes from a lace closure with a wide adjustable ankle strap over the top. That combination matters more for children than adults: growing feet and thin ankles slop around inside a boot that only pulls in one place, and a boot that moves makes hiking uncomfortable and unbalanced. Laced properly with the strap done up, the foot stays put.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnderfoot is Gill's stiffest outsole, which spreads toe strap pressure across the foot instead of one narrow bar, and there is moulded textured reinforcement across the bridge so the strap grips instead of sliding. The wrap-around natural rubber sole is non-marking, which club and school boat parks appreciate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe rear ankle has been reworked for flexibility, so walking down to the water and pulling a boat up the slipway is easier than in a rigid boot.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese suit Optimist, Topper, ILCA and Feva sailors doing regular club racing and training. Get them rinsed in fresh water and dried out between sessions and they will handle a full season.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eGill Junior Edge 2.0 Neoprene Sailing Boot Key Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e4mm double-lined neoprene for warmth in cold conditions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGlued and blindstitched seams to reduce water ingress\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLace closure system for an adjustable, secure fit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWide adjustable ankle strap to stabilise the foot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGill's stiffest outsole for support and balance underfoot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMoulded textured reinforcement across the bridge for hiking strap grip\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWrap-around non-marking natural rubber sole\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUpdated rear ankle construction for improved flexibility\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eJunior sizes 35\/36 and 37\/38\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gill","offers":[{"title":"35\/36","offer_id":58373639569791,"sku":"969J-BLK01-35\/36","price":84.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"37\/38","offer_id":58373639602559,"sku":"969J-BLK01-37\/38","price":84.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0138\/5899\/6288\/files\/9e4d79b7-dc93-4ecb-9bca-1d5729e0a7b5.jpg?v=1788671869","url":"https:\/\/www.sailingchandlery.com\/products\/gill-junior-edge-2-0-sailing-boots-black-lace-entry","provider":"Sailing Chandlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
