Zhik Lightweight High Cut X Sailing Boot

Zhik Lightweight High Cut X Boot

Designed for sailors who want maximum feel without sacrificing protection, the Zhik Lightweight High Cut Boot delivers a new level of agility, grip and comfort on the water. Built around Zhik’s obsession with innovation and performance, this boot is ideal for high-intensity dinghy sailing, foiling and fast-paced racing where responsiveness matters.

The standout feature is the lightweight ribbed 3D knitted stretch sock, which wraps the foot for a secure, adaptive fit and delivers a true barefoot feel with structured support. This allows you to stay connected to the boat while maintaining the stability needed for aggressive manoeuvres and prolonged sessions on the water.

Underfoot, the Michelin outsole with advanced “Fibrelite” technology sets this boot apart. By laminating fabric internally within the rubber, the sole achieves exceptional tear strength and durability while remaining flexible and lightweight. Combined with a high-grip sole pattern, it provides outstanding traction on wet decks and foils, even in demanding conditions.

Protection is intelligently placed where sailors need it most. Stitched reinforcement around the toe box and a durable rubber-coated heel panel enhance abrasion resistance and support, while the high-walled outsole adds extra defence against deck wear. A cold-cemented construction improves longevity, making this a reliable choice for a full season of hard use.

Finishing touches such as the low-profile Velcro® ankle strap, webbing heel loop, and integrated drainage ports ensure the boot stays secure, easy to pull on, and quick-drying keeping weight to a minimum throughout your sail.
