Zhik Performance High Cut Boot - NEW 2026

The Zhik Performance High Cut Boot is designed for sailors who need reliable grip, durability, and extra ankle support in high-intensity racing and training environments. Building on Zhik’s proven performance boot platform, this high-cut version adds stability and protection without sacrificing comfort or freedom of movement.

Constructed with a neoprene upper and stitched rubber-coated fabric, the boot provides a secure, flexible fit while standing up to repeated abrasion on deck. Reinforced toe and heel panels protect high-wear zones, extending durability through demanding race schedules.

Underfoot, a super durable, high-grip rubber compound sole delivers confident traction on wet decks, ramps, and pontoons. The sole is cold cement bonded, with additional reinforcement for long-term performance and resistance to delamination.

The high-walled upper offers increased abrasion resistance and ankle coverage, while a wide ankle strap and updated side lacing system with under-strap hooks ensure a secure, locked-in fit. An easy entry design, heel webbing loop, and integrated drainage channels keep the boot practical, lightweight, and responsive in wet conditions.
