Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Ahiga Slip-on is a versatile sailing shoe designed for active women who need reliable traction and comfort in wet, marine environments. Featuring a quick-drying hydrophobic upper and an ergonomic, cushioned midsole, it is an excellent choice for deck work or casual boating; however, it is specifically optimized for water sports and may not provide the same level of arch support as a dedicated long-distance walking shoe.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash with fresh water and mild soap to preserve the integrity of the non-marking outsole and upper materials.
Do they provide good arch support?
They feature an ergonomic midsole for general comfort, but they do not provide the specialized orthotic support found in high-end hiking footwear.
Are they true to size?
The Ahiga series is designed to fit standard UK sizing, but if you prefer wearing thicker performance socks, you may consider a half-size increase.
Will these leave marks on my boat deck?
No, the shoes are explicitly designed with a non-marking outsole, making them safe for fiberglass, gelcoat, and teak decks.
Can I use these for swimming?
While they handle water well, they are not intended to be used as primary water-entry shoes and may come off in heavy surf.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slippery on dry surfaces
The outsole is designed for wet deck performance; the compound may feel different on polished concrete or dry interiors.
Water isn't draining or drying quickly
Ensure the shoes are free of interior debris or sand, which can trap moisture and impede the drainage properties of the upper.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Excellent grip on slick deck surfaces
- Easy slip-on entry for convenience

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for these shoes; simply ensure you have the correct UK sizing before first use. To maintain the life of your Helly Hansen Ahiga Slip-ons:
- Cleaning: Rinse with fresh water after exposure to saltwater to prevent salt crystallization, which can degrade fabric.
- Drying: Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat sources like heaters or intense sun, which can warp the cushioning or dry out the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
