Crocs Men's Classic Boat Shoe M Sandals Leisure time and Sportwear Man

Product Information

This is another classic choice from Decathlon. It’s made of flexible full-grain salt-water resistant leather, with a non-marking siped rubber sole. The siped HellyGrip rubber outsole is designed to maximise grip, while the high-grade EVA midsole promotes maximum comfort. This, combined with the made-in-Europe build, hand stitching and sewing, and good quality leather mean they are clearly aiming at the higher end of the boat shoe market, with a luxury brand feel.

But what you do get in return for your investment are a high quality pair of shoes built for purpose and built to last. Specifications: Sizes: 5.5 up | Colors: Donkey Brown, Navy, Chestnut, Extra Fit Donkey Brown, Midnight | Material: Leather / Fabric Each pair is hand-stitched and features non-marking anti-slip soles, designed to offer stable grip in all conditions. Our tester wore them over several months and can vouch that they give their feet good all-round support, and the leather lacing kept them securely in place.

The Sperrin Winter Boat Shoe is Chatham’s twist on its classic boat shoe, featuring three eyelet laces, contrast stitching detail, side laces and a heavy cleated sole for additional traction on slippery pontoons.

Although it is understandable to believe that Decathlon’s value for money Tribord sailing kit is ‘too good to be true’, it’s worth knowing that this company prides itself on its thorough testing regime with sailing professionals. This means that the products you buy have been approved and are fit for purpose. Reasons to avoid: Expensive | The insole only covers 2/3rds of the foot (leaving toes and ball of foot on leather) This classic-style boat shoe from US shoe brand Sebago is probably of greatest interest to the active sailor. Decathlon’s technical shoes are lightweight, with a mesh upper that benefits from a plasma coating that reduces water absorption by 40 per cent. Chatham tell us its Galley II design is athletic-inspired, and with its sporty looks and use of contrasting materials and colours, we can see exactly what they mean.The Women’s Sailing Boat Trainer Race 500 is a fine example of the company’s low-cost version of a lightweight, technical shoe. Other than its good looks and light weight, this shoe offers good grip thanks to Decathlon’s specially developed, diamond patterned, non-marking sole. The boat shoes themselves have razor-cut soles so should provide a good level of grip. The leather is fantastically soft and the soles offer a great level of padding. All in all, they are initially impressive and they should work well on the water.
