Deck Shoes

Deck Shoes

Choosing the correct footwear is an essential when taking part in any sporting activity. This is especially apparent in sailing where a sensible pair of shoes is a must. The demands of this great sport make grip and flexibility a must.

Non-slip Sailing Shoes

Deck shoes are traditionally made from leather or nubuck and feature a rubber compound sole to stop you from slipping around on deck. The choice of material is all important as it will have a direct bearing on the comfort of the wearer. Sailing shoes must also be able to cope well with the inevitability of getting wet.

Thanks to advancing technology and innovative design, this type of marine footwear has come a long way. The soles of these casual shoes are tough enough to stand up to the rigours of sailing, but remain deck-friendly. The advanced designs keep your feet glued to the floor, but without leaving unsightly marks on the surface of the vessel.

Lightweight Deck Trainers

More recently, many of the leading brands have designed casual deck trainers. This popular choice of sailing shoe is extremely light in weight, comfortable and quick drying.

All sorts of shoe care products are available to help you keep your spanking new footwear looking that way for longer! Polishes, conditioners and waxes are just some of the treatments which can protect your deck shoes from the elements.
