Sharx shoes - patrol the seas in style 11/01/12


Our feet are often neglected; they are prone to a number of ailments if not properly looked after, and whilst out sailing, foot care is often not top of your list of priorities. Isn’t it time your feet received a bit of tender loving care? Well we think it is, which is exactly why we’ve been road testing the latest sailing wear from Sharx shoes.

The first thing we noticed about Sharx ssharx_greylhoes is just how light they are. They are moulded using EVA technology, ensuring this lightness comes at no cost to the strength of the shoe. The design of the shoe comprises of a good number of breathable holes. These holes mean that less material is used, keeping the weight of Sharx shoes down. They also make Sharx shoes an excellent footwear choice if there’s a chance you are going to get a little wet, as they make the shoe extremely fast drying.

Once on the feet it quickly becomes apparent just how comfortable Sharx shoes are, and although a little unconventional looking, we also thought they had plenty of style. This makes the shoes ideal for wear both on and off the boat, so whether you’re kayaking, sailing or just relaxing on dry land, Sharx shoes are an excellent way to treat your feet.

Practically speaking the Sharx shoes are ideal for wear on deck. The soles are non-scuff so no marks will be left on your pristine deck, whilst their anti-slip properties ensure your safety even when walking around in damp conditions. The removable insole is anti-microbacterial and washable to prevent foot odour, nasty foot conditions and to ensure your feet have a warm, cosy and fresh space in which to relax.
Sharx shoes gave their product to Ian Walker, skipper of the Green Dragon Yacht in the Volvo Round the World Race, who put the shoes to the ultimate test. He said: “These shoes have been around the world with us and passed the supreme test. They are excellent for comfort and performance and will certainly take some beating.”

So, if you’re looking for a sailing shoe which is as at home on land as it is out at sea, Sharx shoes are the answer. And here at Marine Scene they are available at a fantastic price, so click on the link above and give your feet a real treat.
