Description
The Surge X Waterproof Race Shoe represents a revolutionary breakthrough in marine footwear. As the first sailing race shoe of its kind, it solves a fundamental challenge that has defined deck footwear for generations: the choice between agility and dry feet. Built for racers who demand both speed and protection, it delivers both in a lightweight, race-ready platform.
Developed from the bestselling Surge race shoe platform, the Surge X carries forward the proven sole and construction sailors love, while introducing breakthrough waterproof technology. A breathable waterproof membrane is fully sealed around the shoe, creating a waterproof inner structure that keeps feet dry without sacrificing comfort during extended racing. The integrated gaiter, in waterproof membrane construction with a weatherproof zip closure and fully taped seams, adds further protection in spray-heavy conditions, while a neoprene ankle opening with Velcro® adjustment adapts across a wide range of foot shapes.
The proven hybrid rubber outsole delivers confident grip and exceptional stability across wet decks and mixed surfaces, supporting secure footing during maneuvers, transitions, and high-intensity racing. TPU toe and side panels increase abrasion resistance in high-wear zones, while a pull-tight lacing system with stow-away tongue pocket keeps the fit secure and streamlined.
Positioned between traditional deck shoes and heavier offshore seaboots, the Surge X fills a critical gap for competitive sailors. Whether racing yachts, keelboats, or sportsboats in inshore and coastal conditions, or cruising in a lightweight race platform that keeps feet dry, this revolutionary shoe delivers performance without compromise. At just 410g, it represents a new category in sailing footwear.
