At ArdMoor we sell a comprehensive all round collection of technical sailing footwear. From traditional handcrafted deck shoes, practical water sports shoes and boots through to the most advanced sailing footwear technology available for the serious sailors crossing the Southern ocean.
Boating shoes are designed specifically for each type of on-board activity. The key features to all modern sailing footwear are a good non-marking sole and a low profile grip for stability on all types of wet slippery surfaces to keep you safe and secure underfoot.
Also, boating shoes are designed not to damage or scratch the deck of your boat by preventing small stones and grit from becoming stuck in the tread. Sailing shoes have changed dramatically from the first leather shoes designed to protect sailor’s feet from the sea salt and rain.
Now, thanks to the technical materials available, sailors can push the boundaries further and for longer, safe in the knowledge that their footwear is designed to perform in testing conditions.
Below, we have listed some of the types of sailing footwear available at ArdMoor which have been designed to suit your specific needs as well as personal preferences.
Hybrid Sailing Trainers
Designed for serious sailors, hybrid sailing trainers are light, hardwearing and use a variety of multi-directional grip patterns which provide ultimate safety and protection. Shock absorbing midsoles ensure stability and comfort and the robust outer soles protect against the elements.
Sailing trainers are designed with drainage systems with fast drying fabrics and anti-microbial technology to keep your feet comfortable and in the best condition possible when out at sea for long periods of time.
Offshore Ocean Boots
The offshore environment is incredibly testing and you need confidence in your choice of footwear for unrivalled warmth, protection and traction. Technical materials like Gore-tex and Cordura ensure rugged, long-lasting durability from sea water, abrasion and the cold, to help keep you ready for anything.
New technology has created sticky compound rubber outsoles which ensure unrivalled grip in the worst conditions.
Inshore & Coastal Dinghy Sailing Boot
We have a wide selection of neoprene sailing boots that provide reinforcement, warmth and protection for people spending hours in the water enjoying sailing and hiking. These pull on, neoprene boots are flexible, non-slip and extremely warm.
Traditional Leather Deck Shoes
We have a beautiful selection of handmade comfortable leather deck shoes with a non-slip, non-marking and shock absorbing sole. These naturally hardwearing nautical shoes are ideal for boating and enjoying life at both marina and beach.
