Zhik Lightweight High Cut X Boot - NEW 2026

The Zhik Lightweight High Cut X Boot, is engineered for sailors who demand maximum feel, grip, and freedom of movement without sacrificing protection. Designed around a lightweight 3D knitted sock construction, it delivers a close, adaptive fit that moves naturally with the foot while reducing bulk and weight.

At the core of the design is Zhik’s Liquid Polymer outsole, offering an incredibly thin profile that delivers true barefoot feel with added structure and durability. This advanced sole technology provides outstanding grip on wet decks while maintaining precise foot feedback for hiking, trimming, and balance.

Reinforced heel and toe panels add protection in high-wear areas, while the high cut profile delivers extra ankle support without restricting mobility. A low-profile Velcro® ankle strap and updated side lacing system with under-strap hooks ensure a secure, locked-in fit during aggressive manoeuvres.

Fast-draining, lightweight, and built for longevity with cold-cemented construction, the Zhik Lightweight High Cut X Boot is ideal for dinghy sailing, foiling, and high-performance racing where sensitivity and control matter most.
