Hi-Fits

Our Hi-Fits range covers Dubarry’s Hi-Fit sailing boots – a taller, high-cut waterproof sailing boot designed to keep water out even when wading or in a wet cockpit, more protective than a standard deck shoe.

Hi-Fits sit between a standard sailing boot and full wading boot: the taller, high-cut design keeps water out in conditions where a low-cut deck shoe or ankle boot would let spray or wash in, without going all the way to a dedicated wading boot. Check sizing against Dubarry’s own size guide rather than your regular shoe size, since fit varies between brands and boot styles. Non-marking, siped soles are standard for grip on a wet deck without scuffing GRP.

See our Dubarry brand page for the wider range if you’re comparing boot styles.

What makes Hi-Fits different from a standard sailing boot?

The taller, high-cut design keeps water out in wetter conditions – wading, a wet cockpit or heavy spray – where a lower-cut boot or deck shoe would let water in.

How should I size Hi-Fits?
