Sailing Footwear | Dinghy Boots, Deck Shoes & Yachting Boots
Sailing footwear for every type of sailing, from Zhik, Gill, SLAM, Musto, Dubarry and Orca Bay. The range at P&B covers dinghy racing boots and aqua shoes, deck shoes for keelboats and yachts, offshore yachting boots, and technical socks and footcare. Grip and foot protection matter across all of it. Beyond that, the right choice depends on how you sail, your personal preference for fit and feel, and the conditions you're likely to face. Contact the team at info@pinbax.com if you need advice on the best footwear for sailing.
Sailing footwear is more personal than most kit choices. The basics are consistent – grip on wet surfaces, foot protection, a sole that doesn't mark the deck – but what works for one sailor won't always suit another. It depends on how you sail and what your feet need from the shoe.
Zhik leads the sailing footwear range at P&B. Their shoes and boots span lightweight amphibious race shoes through to performance hiking boots with Michelin Fibrelite outsoles and ZhikGrip II panels – built for sailors who push hard physically and need footwear that performs session after session. Gill covers technical sailing boots with durable neoprene construction across a range of thicknesses, suited to year-round dinghy and keelboat sailing in UK conditions. SLAM's OD Shoe brings a Vibram non-marking sole to one-design keelboat racing – retained across model iterations because the deck traction works.
For keelboat and yacht sailors, Musto adds technical sailing shoes to the mix. Dubarry's offshore yachting boots are built for passage-making and offshore racing – waterproof leather with full Goretex lining, for conditions where foot protection and warmth matter as much as grip. Orca Bay brings handcrafted leather deck shoes for sailors who want footwear that works as well at the club as it does on the pontoon.
P&B has over 50 years of sailing heritage. The team sails and races in this kit – which means the advice is grounded in experience rather than specification sheets. Contact us at info@pinbax.com or call 01604 592808.
