Topic: lace-up sailing boots Posted: 17 Jun 13 at 11:48am |
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 djdhi |

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. |
