Zhik’s new Seaboot 700 won the DAME Design Award Personal Equipment category, 2023. The awards are judged under a rigorous process by a mixed panels of experts from the marine and broader industries.

The new Seaboot 700 is extremely lightweight and flexible, giving the agility, feel and comfort of a modern trainer around the deck. In total contrast to traditional sailing boots, the Seaboots weigh just 500g per boot and will withstand full-on offshore conditions whilst being light and supple for coastal cruising or racing.

Zhik collaborated with tyre experts Michelin® in the creation of a bespoke mid and outer sole design. Inspired by technologies in motor racing and wet weather, a special rubber formula has been created providing outstanding grip and manoeuvrability across different deck types, whether dry or awash.
