Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Ahiga Slip-on is a versatile, performance-oriented footwear choice designed specifically for women who spend time on boats, near the coast, or in active water environments. It offers excellent deck-side traction and quick-drying comfort, making it an ideal companion for sailors and coastal explorers. While it excels in aquatic and marine settings, users should note that the specialized non-marking sole is optimized for flat surfaces rather than rugged trail hiking.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash these shoes using fresh water and a mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the breathable materials and the non-marking sole.
Can I wear these for hiking?
These shoes are designed for boat decks and coastal environments. They lack the ankle support and aggressive tread depth required for safe hiking on rugged or steep terrain.
Does the non-marking sole work on indoor flooring?
Yes, the non-marking sole is designed to be safe for a variety of smooth surfaces, including indoor boat cabins and standard household floors.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent premature aging of the technical fabrics.
Are they true to size?
The Ahiga line generally fits true to standard UK sizing, but if you intend to wear them with thick socks, you might consider sizing up.
What is the best way to dry them if they are soaked?
Stuff them with newspaper or a dry towel to absorb excess moisture and let them air-dry in a well-ventilated spot away from heat.
Troubleshooting
Salt buildup on the outer fabric
Rinse thoroughly with fresh, lukewarm water and allow to air-dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
Reduced traction on deck
Check the outsole for lodged debris like small pebbles or sand, and clean the sole with a soft brush and water to restore grip.
Slight slippage at the heel
Ensure the shoe is fully dry. If the fit remains loose, you may consider using a thin aftermarket insole to adjust the internal volume.
Pros and Cons

- Easy slip-on design for convenience

- Limited lateral stability compared to lace-up performance sailing shoes
- Specific fit meant for nautical environments rather than everyday fashion wear
Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Ahiga Slip-on is ready to wear immediately out of the box with no break-in period typically required. Because of the slip-on architecture, ensure you select the correct UK size for a snug but comfortable fit that prevents slipping at the heel. To maintain the life of the footwear, rinse the shoes with fresh water after exposure to saltwater to prevent salt crystallization, which can degrade fabrics. Air-dry them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, as excessive heat can warp the cushioning materials and damage the technical fabric.
