Leading global watersports brand, Helly Hansen, unveils its innovative new sailing shoe – the HH 5.5M – perfectly balancing technical protection and stylish design for the ultimate partner for water-based activities.

The Norwegian brand is an industry leader for seamlessly blending style with high-tech performance. Scandinavia's vibrant waterfront culture has inspired the new hybrid sailing shoe, with its ability to tackle changing environments.

Designed for men and women, Helly Hansen's HH 5.5M (SRP £85) offers the ultimate in protection, agility and comfort, so enthusiasts can enjoy sailing adventures and activities. The 5.5M boasts clean Scandinavian design and nautical colour combinations, striking the perfect balance between style and performance. The unique outsole keeps users firmly rooted whether on-board a slippery dock or around the quay.

For those who enjoy more extreme coastal cruising, the HH 5.5M WIWO (SRP £90) has been designed with water in/water out construction, allowing water to easily drain from the shoe, keeping sailors' feet comfortable. Helly Hansen uses a Serdio Clarino sockliner and Hydro-Siping in the outsole for enhanced grip and support.
