Product Information

The Sperrin Winter Boat Shoe is Chatham’s twist on its classic boat shoe, featuring three eyelet laces, contrast stitching detail, side laces and a heavy cleated sole for additional traction on slippery pontoons. To do this, they have strategically placed drainage ports on the waterline to help speed drying, vent holes in the uppers to ensure breathable comfort, and moulded wave-siping incorporated into the outsoles to provide sure-footed traction in all conditions.

It’s constructed to be long-lasting and made from unique hot-stuff buffed leather conditioned with oils and waxes. This classic-style boat shoe from US shoe brand Sebago is probably of greatest interest to the active sailor. The sole is made of non-marking rubber, with deep drainage channels and an effective non-slip pattern. The moulded insole and outsole both have fast drainage and there’s extra toe protection to reduce risk of injury.
