The team at Sailing Chandlery have refreshed our video review of the Zhik 470 Sailing Boots sailing boots.
This high cut sailing boot has some excellent features and superb grip to keep you on the boat in wet conditions.
The lightest high cut supportive Zhik boot in the range designed for high intensity, high activity sailing. Popular with all foiling classes and trapeze sailors
The thinner materials used on this boot allow you to feel the boat dynamics much more 2mm neoprene and 1mm rubber. Due to the lightweight construction of the boot we would not recommend using for hiking
Superior Zhik fit is achieved by moulding the boot on Zhik’s unique ergonomic lasts. This gives you a firm + close fit with more comfort, and reduced chafe
Zhik 470 sailing boots are the new model of the Zhik 460 sailing boot which has been popular for years based on its light weight design and feel the boot provides within the boat, or on the wire.
The Zhik 470 sailing boot is made from 2mm neoprene making it really light and quick drying.
Zhik have added even more grip to their already fantastic sailing boot grip and have changed the fit for a more moulded grip onto your feet. This now provides more support with the lace system being on the outside of the boot. There is even a neat little hole within the strap to tuck the excess laces away while done up.
Love the range of cups, because a brew is the first call on any boat, before and after the maneuver, rig, derig, and before ju.ping ship, it's also the first thing I do before I investigating a real issue ... but us commercial skippers need a cool head and lots of coffee, served piping hot, normally drunk cold haha
Included in the batten set is a small batten pusher used to set the velcro closure. Essential bit of kit. Check Youtube for the correct way to use it.
There’s that saying we all know… the quality of these items are superb!
I’m new to sailing but as in all sports, hobbies, pastimes/leisure time pursuits etc that I take up and participate in, I’ve always had the same attitude and method, with regard to when it comes to the research and purchase of the correct gear… in that I buy the best that I can at the best price i.e buy it once and it will last; without the need (when buying a lesser quality item), to find that that you’d actually like to upgrade…
Zhik to me is top quality gear!
I’m 5’9” and 11 and a half stone
This outfit fits me like a glove and a second skin. If you can (and excuse the pun!) push the boat out with regard to the pricier purchase price, imo you will be making a great choice! 10 out of 10!
Good quality fitted well, length good
Great service
Fast delivery - exactly as per order - many thanks
Nice smooth finish and easy to splice
This is not only comfortable but really roomy. The internal pocket is just right for my laptop and the straps mean that some items can be clipped on the outside. I’ll be using this for years to come!!
Great, exactly what I wanted they seem high quality and dont rust.
Such an easy website to use and the team are great. Fast arrival and brilliant condition. Definitely my go-to for all my sailing needs
Super value for money and delivered super quickly too. We were back on the water racing within no time
It’s really good you can get a spare for this because often you only lose this bit! It’s a much cheaper option and comes quickly.
The wheels were easily fitted to my laser launching trolley using existing washers and retaining clips.
Have been used only a couple of times so far but run smoothly and seem to do the
job fine.
Really pleased with the cover fits perfectly. I knew when it would arrive the company kept me up to date with the process
Good service, no complaints.
