FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are designed to be quick-drying and breathable, but they are not fully waterproof. They are meant to shed water quickly after exposure.
Can I use these for hiking?
While they are comfortable and stable, they are designed for decks and marinas. They lack the aggressive outsole lugs needed for traction on uneven dirt or rocky trails.
Are the materials sustainable?
Yes, Helly Hansen uses recycled materials in the laces, lining, and the midsole construction to improve environmental sustainability.
Do these provide arch support?
They feature a well-cushioned, stable midsole designed to provide support for long hours of standing on hard boat decks.
How should I clean the shoes after sailing?
Rinse them thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, and let them air dry away from direct heat sources.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Check the outsole for debris or grit trapped in the siping channels and clean the soles with a soft brush.
Shoes feel tight after long wear
Ensure laces are not overtightened; the shoes are designed to be lightweight, and excessive tension may restrict natural foot expansion during activity.
Persistent salt smell or residue
Submerge the shoes in fresh water with a mild, sports-safe detergent and gently scrub the interior and exterior to remove embedded salt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Helly Hansen Crew Low Sailing Shoes maintain their performance, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: After exposure to salt water, rinse the shoes thoroughly with fresh, clean water to prevent salt buildup which can degrade fabrics over time.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area. Avoid placing them directly on heaters or in intense direct sunlight, as extreme heat can warp the cushioning materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the breathable mesh and synthetic materials.
- Compatibility: These are designed for standard UK sizing. When choosing your fit, ensure there is slight room in the toe box for comfort during extended wear.
