All that blather. !!
Would it not just been easier just to say, " We are going in partnership with Adidas to market 'over priced' yachting shoes"

Trainers, when getting too tired to fulfil their nominal purpose, are ideal boat wear. One stage further on in the cycle, they become painting shoes.

Perhaps when yacht marketing brochures starts saying: it floats and gets blown around by the wind.

Tested for waterproofness by "8,000 flexes, equivalent to a 16 k walk". My £10 dog walking wellies are used for nearer 100 times that distance each year and I would be most upset if they leaked.

Shoes are not allowed on my boat.

All my crew wear shoes on board to avoid stubbed toes. I hate blood on the sails.

Some times I do wear shoes as the deck an get so hot it can burn your feet unless I spray the deck with water to cool it down.

I'm not especially precious about my decks, but I'm still not sure I'd want someone stomping around them with "5mm crampons" on their boots

Reading that here in wintery England brings back lovely memories of being HOT! Alas, the sun tan is fading and the English nose will drip for the next several months.

I wouldn't get on a boat without them. Although when I say shoes I basically mean some tan-soled converse with white rims. Surprisingly grippy...but then, the decks they've been on never got particularly wet. Unfortunately black soles can leave some unsightly marks on the deck of white boat. They certainly grip better than my own feet do and give (albeit minimal) protection from stubbing my toe and skinning my ankle against one of the stays(?).

Oh and they keep any blood inside the shoe .

Also thanks for that link earlier about those boots they look interesting .

What do you do with all the frost bitten toes?

 

[Tomahawk]

I consider shoes are your first bit of safety equipment.

What frost, never had frost where my boat is. As I said before sometimes the deck is too hot to walk on and have to spray the deck with water to cool it down so you don't burn your feet.

I remember years ago a flotilla yacht that had a removable cockpit table that fitted into a dark-metal plate on the sole. Which was in sunlight most of the day and got up to dangerous temperatures unless frequently splashed!

Cut them off and feed them to the huskies.
