Full details
The Helly Hansen Crew Low Sailing Shoes are designed for adult men who require reliable stability and agility while working on deck or navigating marinas. These shoes offer exceptional grip on wet surfaces and long-lasting comfort through a specialized cushioned midsole, though they are optimized primarily for nautical environments rather than rugged hiking or intense off-road terrain. Featuring quick-drying materials and professional-grade traction technologies, they provide a lightweight and breathable solution for any water-based activity.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for swimming?
No, these are sailing shoes intended for deck use. They are not designed for swimming or underwater activity.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is generally recommended to hand wash with mild soap and water to preserve the technical adhesives and grip patterns on the sole.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they are designed to fit standard UK sizing, but if you intend to wear thick sailing socks, you may want to consider your fit preferences.
Is the material waterproof?
The materials are water-resistant and quick-drying, but they are not fully waterproof, meaning water can enter through the tongue or mesh areas if submerged.
Are these good for walking on the street?
They can be worn casually on streets, but the outsole is specifically optimized for smooth, wet surfaces like boat decks.
Troubleshooting
Sole losing traction on deck
Check the grooves for debris or pebbles lodged in the siping and clean with a soft brush.
Persistent odor after wet use
Remove the insoles and wash the shoes with a mild detergent and fresh water, then allow them to air dry completely.
Slow drying time
Ensure they are placed in an area with good airflow; avoid using direct heat sources like heaters or hairdryers which can damage the synthetic materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box with no specific break-in period required, though it is recommended to ensure you have the correct size for a secure fit. For compatibility, they are standard male fit footwear.
To maintain the integrity of the specialized `Hydro-Grip` soles, avoid wearing them on harsh, abrasive surfaces like concrete for extended periods when not necessary. To clean, rinse them with fresh water after exposure to saltwater to prevent salt crystallization, which can degrade fabrics. Always air dry in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight to maintain the shape and elasticity of the materials.
