These shoes feature advanced grip technologies to ensure safety on wet surfaces and are constructed from sustainable, quick-drying materials.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are designed to be quick-drying and breathable rather than fully waterproof, meaning they handle splashes well but are not meant for submersion.
Can I wear these for walking on concrete docks?
Yes, they are suitable for walking on marina docks and boat decks, providing good grip on most surfaces.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to air them out separately or replace them with custom orthotics if needed.
Do they provide good arch support?
The midsole is designed for stability and cushioning, which provides decent comfort, but it is not a high-arch orthotic shoe.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
The shoes should feel snug but not restrictive, with about a thumb's width of space at the toe to ensure comfort during active movement.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
It is generally recommended to hand wash them to preserve the adhesive and material structure, as machine cycles can be too aggressive.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are retaining a salt smell after use.
Rinse thoroughly with a mix of fresh water and a tiny amount of mild detergent, then air dry completely in a breezy area.
Grip feels slippery after prolonged use.
Check the treads for trapped debris or grit. Use a soft brush to clear out the siping patterns to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required for the Helly Hansen Crew Low Sailing Shoes; they are ready for use immediately out of the box. For compatibility, these are standard sailing trainers that work well with various deck types but should be kept away from harsh industrial solvents that might degrade the specialized rubber compound.
To ensure the longevity of your shoes, follow these care steps:
- Rinse with Fresh Water: After every use in saltwater, rinse the shoes thoroughly with fresh water to prevent salt crystallization.
- Air Dry Naturally: Always allow the shoes to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can deform the materials.
- Spot Clean: For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush and mild soap to gently scrub the exterior.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the breathable mesh.
