Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Ahiga Slip-on is a high-performance sailing shoe designed for women who demand stability and comfort in wet environments. Its primary benefit lies in its non-marking traction outsole and quick-drying upper, making it an essential companion for deck work and marine activities; however, potential users should note that the slip-on design is tailored specifically for water sports and may not offer the same level of arch support as dedicated long-distance walking shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash using fresh water and mild soap to protect the specialized outsole and quick-dry materials.
Can I wear these for walking on trails?
While the shoes are durable, they are optimized for flat, wet deck surfaces and do not have the heavy-duty tread or protection needed for rugged off-road trails.
Do they float if they fall overboard?
No, these are not designed to be buoyant and will sink if submerged.
Are they true to size?
The Ahiga series is designed for a standard fit; if you intend to wear thicker socks, you may consider sizing up.
Does the blue color fade in the sun?
The materials are high-quality, but as with all footwear, prolonged exposure to intense UV rays can cause minor fading over time.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slippery on dry surfaces
Check the soles for trapped sand or grit; clean with fresh water to restore full grip.
Inner lining stays damp
Ensure they are placed in a well-ventilated area after use to facilitate proper airflow through the breathable mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Ahiga Slip-ons maintain their performance, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Rinse with fresh water after each use in saltwater environments to prevent salt crystallization.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, to preserve the integrity of the hydrophobic materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
- Compatibility: These shoes are best paired with moisture-wicking synthetic socks or worn barefoot to maximize the efficiency of the quick-dry upper.
