New boat shoes for men and women
The new models from Dubarry are not only designed to stabilise the feet and provide a good grip on deck, but are also available in sizes for female sailors

Easkey is the name of the new shoes from Dubarry, which the manufacturer describes as particularly lightweight performance sailing shoes. Reinforcements are designed to ensure a stable stance. The heels are specially moulded and a crescent-shaped guard surrounds the toes. This is intended to protect against twisting and toe injuries. The footbed is designed to absorb shocks and thus protect the joints.

The sole is said to be non-slip thanks to the water-displacing drainage system and does not stain. The upper is made of airy PU mesh. Practical detail: the small pocket for stowing the ends of the laces so that they don't get caught anywhere.

The shoes are available for men and women in sizes 36 to 48. They are available in the colours white, blue, red, pink and black. The price is 129 euros.

Redakteur Test & Technik

Michael Rinck war das Kind, das nach der Schule direkt aufs Wasser wollte – Segeltraining, Regatten, Hauptsache nass. Diese Vorliebe machte er zum Beruf: Erst als Segellehrer auf der Alster (während des Studiums), dann ab 2014 in der YACHT-Redaktion. Dort hat er im Bereich Test & Technik seine Berufung gefunden: Segelboote und Sicherheitsequipment testen. Was besonders bei Rettungswesten und MOB-Systemen bedeutet, dass er mehr Arbeitsstunden im Wasser treibend verbringt als die meisten Menschen im Büro sitzend. Höhepunkt: eine ganze Nacht in der Rettungsinsel auf der Ostsee. Seine Familie hat inzwischen durchgesetzt, dass Urlaubstörns auf der eigenen Fahrtenyacht deutlich trockener ablaufen.
