The practical, short version of the Gill Performance Boot - the Gill Performance Race Boot! This waterproof, breathable race boot is lace-up and features a soft padded tongue. It also has continuously welded seams to guarantee it is extremely waterproof. Other highlights of this functional boot by Gill include the ankle protector, the soft lining (which has excellent wicking properties), and the replaceable, cushioned EVA footbed. This sailing boot also has a non-slip, non-marking rubber outsole with a drainage system for a high level of stability and a perfect grip, even on wet deck.
