New Dinghy Boots...

   get the new zhik 450 racing boot or the 350 which is heavier designed for hiking. The side lace system is really good at supporting for ankle and the grip on the 450 is far better than any other boot. It feels like our 49er is re gripped when we use them compared with the magic marine which we thought use to have the most grip. They work really well if you have the footstraps aswell because of the grip on the top of the boat matches the grip on the foot straps.

	Very happy with Typhoon dinghy boots http://www.sailboats.co.uk/Catalogue~Typhoon_Dinghy_Boots_Ad ult~p_1626~c5212.html Good grip on everything I've sailed, including (importantly) water-soaked gelcoat.

	thanks for all the advice guys and girls, bit disappointed i found my boots (lurking in the kite bag!) but think i may get a new pair soon anyway due to the sole having all but rubbed off the bottom of my rooster ones!

	would go with the extremity booties, try to get a size thats a tight fit cause they stretch a bit. but u do stick to the side like glue
