Another +1 for Maramu 
I used to wear them when they were red "Musto Boots", so I guess I fall into the "old timer" category that Rogue's blog review references!

My crew recently bought a pair and was told that they were stopping making them soon.

+1 for the lace up versions of the Aigle - Maramu (?) but replace the lace with elastic and they will last longer.

Can you give me your recommendations on dinghy boots please?  My first and only pair so far have been Rooster boots and whilst they're very comfy the soles are made from soft cheese and the grip is sh*t.  Probably not a problem in a laser where you don't have far to move from one side to the other but I find I'm always loosing my footing in my Blaze because of these boots.  

I've had them since last august and have used them on average probably less than once a week and the soles have been shagged for a couple of months.  I certainly won't be buying another pair that's for certain.  The next pair need to have much sturdier soles with good grip that won't wear out so quickly.
