There are also people that walk for exercise and are also looking for a quality and comforting shoe that they can walk either on a track or trail that will support their feet after a long hard day at the office. Skechers is known for their quality and comfort of their shoes and have many fans that will not wear anything but Skechers. Some of these jobs do not demand specialty shoes so people are looking for shoes that will comfort, support and fit their feet. Nevertheless, a Docksides is a Docksides and it´s just a great feeling to have these shoes on my feet.Many people have jobs or lifestyles that keep them walking on their feet most of the day. I think the high price of some 140 Euros is worth the quality of the product, although there are some very competitive offers by similar products in a more priceworthy category.
Once fited, a pair of Docksides is Skipper´s best friend The soles are definitely non-slipping and won´t leave any marks on all kinds of decking material. They are just perfect: Best imaginable workmanship and quality of materials. I´ve got my Sebago Docksides a couple of weeks ago and after experiencing the before mentioned teething troubles with blisters and pain I just returned from a 290 mile cruise on a Class 40 sailing yacht and have tested the shoes under various conditions. After a while the shoes will get their fit and will make friends with your feet – friends forever, as it might be. Even if it´s hot and your feet are sweating.
During the first couple of weeks wear your Docksides with socks. So my advice would be to buy your brand new exactly to the size of your feet! Too tightyou’re your will bleed, too loose and you will certainly breed a pair of huge and painful blisters. After some miles of having the worn Docksides they do fit just perfectly and will be the best companions for the sailor´s feet to think of, but the first days are just awful, as I did experienced by myself too: Huge, huge blisters at my feet, especially at the heels and the ankle! Oh, that did hurt! Quality Materials and High Quality Craftsmanship Most sailors do wear their sailing shoes without socks. The Docksides can be seen on the feet of a lot of sailors, as well as me-too products by other brands. It has been manufacturing casual marine footwear since it´s beginning and is synonym for high quality shoes. Sebago is an American company with strong roots based in Maine/USA. Leisure time, working time: Docksides perform well on a boat, o matter which taskīeing of white color, the sole is non-marking which will keep your precious Teak decking and white top coats neat and clear from scratch marks and ugly stripes. It comes with a slip resistant sole, which is makes it the perfect sailing shoe for almost all weather conditions. It´s a robust, well manufactured slipper made of leather – inside and outside as well. Basically, the shoe hasn´t changed much since Sebago was founded in 1946. Traditionally worn by Sailors for Centuriesĭocksides are the classic product and can be seen at the feet of a lot of sailing fellows. So, when it came to buying sailing shoes for myself, I opted for the classic, the all-time cult shoe, the Chucks of the water: The Sebago Docksides shoes. Sailing is a sport, recreational activity and again, it´s a piece of culture. On the other hand, shoes need to be comfortable and nice to be looked at. Good sailing shoes are simply a question of safety at sea. Why? Neat, clean and simple: That´s a Skipper´s Essential since 1946īecause whilst roaming about on deck first of all a sailor needs thorough foothold, a certain grip of the shoes in all weather conditions, no matter if the deck is dry or wet or even flushed. There are Converse Chucks (which I really love wearing), sandals, running shoes and even flip-flops on board. What are we expecting from our sailing shoes? An all too obvious question and maybe some of you might wonder why I raise it here, but quite frankly, I´ve been observing this issue for some time and keeping your eyes your will probably notice the same as I did: Most people just don´t wear appropriate sailing shoes.
