Description
Gill Edge Boot is a popular piece of footwear designed for a variety of water sports, particularly dinghy sailing. Renowned for its warmth, protection, and secure fit, the boot features a lace-up closure and adjustable ankle strap. This dual system allows for a customizable, snug fit around the foot, crucial for performance-oriented sailing. The wide adjustable strap reinforces the lacing to provide additional support. Made from neoprene 4mm or 5mm thick, the boot offers excellent insulation and warmth in cold water and windy conditions. A high-grip, wrap-around rubber sole ensures maximum traction on wet and slippery surfaces, including boat decks, pontoons, and slipways. Reinforced sections protect the heel, toe, and bridge of the foot; the bridge reinforcement is especially beneficial for dinghy sailors who use hiking straps, improving both protection and contact. Glued and blindstitched seams complete the construction, helping to seal out water and keep the wearer dry.
