Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Ahiga Slip-on is a high-performance sailing shoe designed for women who demand both comfort and functionality while on the water. Featuring a lightweight, breathable, and water-repellent construction, it excels at providing secure traction on wet decks without the hassle of traditional laces; however, it is specifically optimized for nautical use and may not provide the same arch support as dedicated hiking or running footwear.

FAQs
Can I wear these on land?
Yes, they are comfortable enough for casual wear, though they are specifically optimized for marine deck performance.
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally recommended to hand wash them to preserve the integrity of the adhesive and the grip compound.
Do I need to wear socks with these?
They are designed to be comfortable with or without socks, depending on your personal preference.
How does the size run?
They are designed to provide a standard fit, but if you have wider feet, you may find the slip-on design feels more secure.
Are they waterproof?
They are water-repellent and breathable, meaning they shed water well, but they are not fully waterproof, so they will let water in if fully submerged.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel loose or slip off while moving
Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size and check if your feet are swollen from heat; if they remain loose, consider using a thin athletic insole.
Salt residue buildup on the upper fabric
Soak the shoes in fresh water for 15 minutes and gently scrub with a soft cloth to dissolve the salt crystals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes require no "setup" beyond ensuring a correct fit, as they are a slip-on design. Because they are designed for performance in and around salt water, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan:
- Rinsing: Always rinse the shoes with fresh, cool water after exposure to salt water to prevent salt crystallization.
- Drying: Air dry them naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid using direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the bonding agents and materials.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush and mild soap to remove stains or dirt from the upper mesh.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
