Dinghy boots for trapezing

   In the end I went for the new Gill trapeze boots.  I tried them yesterday in the contender and they were superb - very comfy and certainly grippy enough.  the test will be to see how long they last.

	magic marine trap boots, with an internal seperation betweek big toe and the rest - gives great feel, good balance and support and ankle protection - wouldn't ever change mine.

	Had my Gill Trap boots for nearly 3 years now. Still going strong but the innards are starting to fray (bits of black rubber all ober de feet on exit). Grippy, warm, simple. On the other hand, left me boots at home one day and sailed in trainers with neoprene socks beneath - worked a treat. Razor-cut great on a flat deck, less good on gunnalls, wings and racks. Those Granite river boots look good.

	i have a pair of 5mm gul windsurfing boots. they are really warm and grippy but i take them off when i get to the top of the slipway and don't wear them around the dinghy park when rigging up as they were £35 and i don't want to wear the soles out and have to get a new pair soon.
