Musto claims to have set the bar with its new sailing boots and at £325, one would hope so too. The Gore-Tex Ocean Racer has a Cordura upper and gaiter to protect the hard-wearing areas of the boot. Beneath the gaiter is a bellowed tongue and a ‘Dynamic Fitbungee’ elasticated lacing system for a sung, secure fit. Inside, the boot is lined with Gore-Tex membrane to ensure that it’s waterproof. Musto’s lightweight and shock-absorbing midsole and GripFlex sole made from GripDeck rubber should provide comfortable and secure footing on deck.
