Excellent sailing shoes from the last test in YACHT 12/2020
The Regatta deck shoe from Dubarry scored highly in the test with its particularly grippy sole, which offered very good grip on teak decks, structured GRP and Treadmaster. It also had good drying behaviour and mesh inserts allowed fresh air to reach the foot. The sole profile absorbed very little dirt. Test winner in the men's shoe category. Price: 169 euros.
The test winner among the models for female sailors is the Racetrainer sailing shoes from Gill. They had the best grip on all materials. The sole also collected little dirt when going ashore and the shoes offered good drying behaviour. Large drainage holes in the sole. Price: 120 euros.
The Sunrise II model from Lizard scored well for grip on deck and an attractive price, making it the price-performance tip of the last test. Price: 70 euros.
