Men's Boat Shoes Sailing 100 - Turquoise / Grey

Grip - laboratory tests.

All our shoes are tested in a laboratory in a machine that gives a level of grip, with a score between 0 and 1 (0 = no grip, 1 = very good grip).

This simulates the movement we can have on a smooth boat deck that is wet with salt water. It measures the ability of the shoe to hold onto that surface until it slips.

Grip - usage tests.

The Sailing 100 model has been tested and validated throughout its design phase by the Tribord sailing team in calm to variable sailing conditions (choppy water, small swell, average wind speed of force 5), in warm and sunny weather (average outdoor temperature of 25°C). These tests on the level of grip during use were carried out mainly on a Figaro and an Open 5.70, in different positions (helmsman, pitman, trimmer, midbowman).

How to care for this pair of shoes

To protect your nostrils as well as those of your crew, we recommend that you:

- wear socks with your shoes

- rinse your shoes with clean water (do not machine wash, the drum could damage the mesh of the shoe)

- leave to dry after each use to prevent the build-up of bacteria
