Zhik's ZKG's are a stylish, colourful and fun range of shoes that are designed to get wet, and are equally at home on the high street too.

The high grip ZK™ soft sole is Zhik's proprietary rubber formula and tread pattern, designed to instantly expel water from underneath the sole and achieve exceptionally high levels of grip in the wet, whilst also maintaining excellent levels of durability.

At first glance the colourful uppers look like a 'Converse style' canvas, and yet are made with a highly perforated neoprene, which allows the foot to breathe and also water to drain away quickly. The ZKG's soft non-marking soles and uppers are particularly kind to wooden boats, teak decks and brightwork, with nothing to cause snagging or marks.

Amazingly comfortable for all day wear, the shoes are very flexible too which helps agility and secure movement whether you are up on the deck changing sails, jumping in and out of tenders, playing on paddleboards or simply popping ashore.

ZKGs are available in Grey/cyan, Grey/red, Grey/pink, Steel Blue, Brown/cyan, Black and Black/green. RRP £79.00.
