Hi

Do any firms still make lace-up sailing boots?  Even if I wear a size larger I struggle to get into the usual Zip-up type.  My country-bread ankles are just too solid, I am averaging 3 or 4 mins each boot.

I have tried talcum powder, wetting them first to no avail.

Thanks

Try plastic bags over your socks and the boots will slip on and off easily, works a treat when trying to get boots on over dry-suit latex socks.
