How to choose sailing shoes: Slam models and characteristics

When it comes to choosing sailing shoes, there are many different factors to consider in order to find the perfect model. One of the most important aspects concerns the materials with which the shoes are produced and the type of sole used. Sailboat shoes are typically made of leather, polyester, nylon and elastane, in combination with technologically advanced materials, capable of guaranteeing perfect adherence to the surface and breathability; an example is Vibram WAVEGRIP, a material that Slam uses for the sole of the WIN-D Technical Shoe model. Our leather shoes for sailing are generally loafers: they are very soft, and tend to require more care and maintenance than other options.

Another important consideration when choosing the best sailing shoes for you is the shoe model. There are many different styles of sailing boat shoes, so it is important to take some time to evaluate the model that best suits your needs. Are you looking for shoes for a relaxing sailing holiday? Or will your new sailing shoes accompany you on an adventure at the sea?

The Slam catalogue offers you lots of models: women's and men's sailing shoes for different needs, guaranteeing you a choice of style and comfort.

Technical sailing shoes are designed to provide grip on slippery surfaces, as well as protect your feet from potential injury.

In this paragraph we will discover the fundamental characteristics that a technical sailing shoe must guarantee and the advantages given by choosing Slam shoes.

Performance sailing shoes - the requirements of a good model

Quality technical sailing shoes are designed to provide comfort and stability during use. The main feature that this type of shoes must have is the non-slip, resistant and wide sole, in such a way as to evenly distribute the weight of the wearer. Good internal padding is essential to help protect your feet from impact elements. The resistance to salt water is fundamental when choosing technical sailing shoes; sea water can quickly damage standard shoes, so it is important to make sure that the technical sailing shoes chosen can withstand external environmental elements. Another important feature to look for is breathability, to prevent bacteria and fungi. Most technical sailing shoes also have a removable insole, allowing you to customize the fit of the shoe and add extra cushioning if needed. In our catalog you will find different models, able to guarantee maximum comfort and resistance, always with great attention to style.
