Wed, 15 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Choosing the right pair of boots is critical for staying fast and dry on deck. Today, we’re comparing two of Zhik’s most popular options: the high-tech Seaboot 700 and the versatile Seaboot 400.

While both feature the legendary Michelin® rubber sole for incredible grip on wet surfaces, they offer very different experiences:

Zhik Seaboot 700: Reimagining the marine boot. Weighing only 500g, it offers "sneaker agility" with a highly breathable eVent® membrane. Featuring a quick-lace system and a high-stretch zippered gaiter, it’s designed for fast-paced racing where every gram counts.

Zhik Seaboot 400: The ultimate all-rounder. Built with a waterproof and breathable woven outer and an insulated lining, it provides a deep-set footbed for an active sport shoe fit. It’s a super lightweight, durable boot perfect for everyday use on and around the boat.
