Best Sailing Shoes:FAQ
Wondering what the best sailing footwear is to wear on deck, if you have to wear socks with your deck shoes, or whether there is a difference between deck shoes and boat shoes? Look no further. Below, you'll find answers to our frequently asked questions about deck shoes, sailing trainers, and sailing boots.
What are the best shoes to wear on a yacht?
For superior performance and stability traction, opt for either the Regatta (Men) or Auckland (Ladies). These deck shoes feature a cup sole design for added underfoot comfort. Flat sole deck shoes also offer optimal grip on deck. Dubarry offer flat sole deck shoe models such as Aruba (Ladies) and Port (Men). For casual sailing, boating, and on the dock wear, we suggest a loafer or slip-on deck shoe, prioritising comfort over a snug fit. In performance sailing situations, we recommend sailing trainers such as Palermo or Sydney.
What kind of shoes do sailors wear?
The shoes sailors wear depend on the purpose. If you are into performance sailing, we recommend sailing trainers, our cup-soled Regattas or any of our duo compound sole units on styles such as Clipper, Atlantic or Commodore. However, if you enjoy leisurely sailing, our two-eye tie deck shoes are more likely to be your preferred option.
What is the difference between deck shoes and boat shoes?
There is no difference between a "Deck Shoe" and a "Boat Shoe" apart from the name itself. In the UK, we refer to boat shoes as deck shoes. Meanwhile, in the US and Continental Europe, deck shoes are referred to as boat shoes.
Are boat shoes meant to be worn in socks?
Whether you wear socks with your deck or boat shoes is entirely up to personal preference. Some will wear decks with socks while others won’t. Those who do wear decks with socks generally use extra low cut or no show socks.
