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.
