The Performance High Cut Boot represents a complete ground-up redesign, bringing modern athletic footwear construction methods to dinghy sailing with more sustainable construction techniques. Engineered for sailors who demand performance and durability, this high-cut boot delivers secure ankle support, confident grip, and long-term reliability in demanding conditions.
At the heart of the design is the enhanced side lacing system with wide under-strap hooks, a unique re-engineered innovation. Building on the original side-laced dinghy boot pioneered by Zhik, this updated system provides faster, easier access while maintaining exceptional security and fit. The wide 2:1 Velcro ankle strap delivers firm, adjustable ankle support for hiking and demanding maneuvers.
At the foundation is a stitched construction combined with an advanced bonded sole securely attached using super-strength adhesives under high pressure. This modern construction method moves away from traditional vulcanization, requiring less energy while delivering more consistent quality and improved durability. The result is a lightweight, flexible boot straight out of the box with additional stitching at the toe box for reinforced durability where stress is highest.
The super-durable, high-grip rubber compound sole provides twice the durability of previous designs, with confident traction across wet and mixed surfaces. A high-walled rubber outsole adds abrasion protection in high-wear areas, while integrated drainage channels expel water effectively.
A neoprene sock construction with stitched rubber-coated panels delivers a secure, comfortable fit while increasing abrasion resistance, with reinforced toe and heel panels protecting against repeated impacts and wear.
Compatible with the Hiking X Carbon Insole for added support and performance. Built for sailors who demand equipment that performs session after session, the Performance High Cut Boot delivers the ankle support, durability and confidence you need in demanding conditions.
