Sailing Shoes

The boat shoe: an emblematic style

Boat shoes are now everywhere and if they were all intended for sailing, many pairs are no longer made for sailing. Many pairs are now destined for the marine fashion market. If you want a pair of boat shoes, beware because some are not at all for sailing anymore. All the models you will find on Nautisports. com are designed to meet your needs on deck.

How to choose your boat shoes

Not all boat shoes are designed to accompany you at sea. The main characteristic to look at is the quality of the sole. A grippy, high-performance sole can be used on the boat, while a smooth sole will not do. In the beginning, the soles of boat shoes were made of small grooves that allowed water to drain away and prevented small gravel from getting lodged in them. The pattern on the bottom of the sole has changed a lot since then, but it still provides excellent traction. The material of the sole itself has changed and now allows to leave no marks on the deck, which was the case of the old boat shoes. Today's shoes are also lighter and offer better ankle support, for example, thanks to better lacing systems.
