FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are designed to be quick-drying and breathable; they are not fully waterproof, but they are built to manage moisture exposure effectively.
Can I use these for walking on concrete docks?
Yes, they provide good comfort for walking on docks, though the outsole is optimized specifically for boat decks.
How should I clean my Helly Hansen sailing shoes?
Use fresh water to rinse off salt and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush and mild soap, then air dry.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, they follow standard UK sizing for adult trainers.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these shoes suitable for cold weather?
They are designed for breathability, so they are best suited for warmer weather or moderate conditions where keeping feet dry is the priority.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Check the outsole for small stones, sand, or debris lodged in the siping grooves and rinse with fresh water.
Unpleasant odor after frequent use
Remove the insoles and wash them with mild soap and water, then allow the shoes to air dry in a well-ventilated area.
Laces coming loose during active use
Ensure the recycled laces are tied with a secure double knot, as synthetic fibers can sometimes be smoother than traditional cotton laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Crew Low Sailing Shoes, it is recommended to rinse them with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, as salt crystals can degrade fabrics and clog the siping patterns in the outsole over time. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct high-heat sources like radiators, which can warp the cushioning materials. These shoes are compatible with standard athletic lacing patterns. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place. Because they utilize breathable, quick-dry synthetic materials, they do not require heavy waterproofing sprays, but periodically checking the soles for trapped debris will help maintain their peak traction capabilities.
