What you expect from practical sailing clothing such as oilskins, a sailing boot must also fulfil: a high-quality sailing boot must be reliably waterproof, comfortable to wear and non-slip. Sailing boots for men with sporting ambitions should also be breathable to ensure a hygienic and fresh foot climate, even when racing. Leading international watersports outfitters such as Musto, Dubarry and Compass rely on sophisticated membrane technology for men's sailing boots. Membranes such as Gore-Tex® and Compatex® make the boat boot absolutely waterproof and breathable even when exposed to salt water. Many manufacturers use abrasion-resistant Cordura and seawater-resistant leather for the shaft and foot section; this combination gives the sailing boot extreme durability and flexible dimensional stability with high wearing comfort.
Laces on the shaft and shaft edge are a functional feature of offshore boots, allowing the sea boot to be adjusted to the calf and preventing water from penetrating. For classic rubber boots, brand manufacturers such as Dubarry, Musto and Compass only use high-quality natural rubber, which guarantees the boat boots lasting waterproofness, elasticity and resilience.
Sailing boots made from neoprene, whether as short dinghy shoes or short boots, are the ultimate sailing clothing for the feet of dinghy and regatta sailors. Neoprene is highly elastic, thermally insulating and absolutely waterproof. Sailing boots for men made from high-quality neoprene are the best protection against the cold and wet.
A practical sailing boot is all about the sole. Only a non-slip sole with good grip provides safety on deck. A boat boot must provide very good grip, especially in wet conditions and on slippery deck surfaces. This is achieved through special rubber compounds, profiling and water-displacing drainage systems in the outsole. Sailing boots from Dubarry, for example, have a highly technical non-slip non-marking sole that does not rub off, even in the event of heavy friction. Boat boots from Musto for dinghy sailors are specially designed for wet and cold conditions, with a non-slip sole with the finest knife-cut profile. Test winners such as the professional boots from Compass combine a highly flexible sole construction with a drainage system and non-slip tread for demanding offshore use. High-performance sailing boots from Musto, Dubarry and Compass are designed for extreme offshore conditions, which is why they are worn by professional sailors as an important part of their sailing gear in the toughest offshore races.
