Size Chart

The Zhik 2026 dinghy boot range is labeled and sold in updated US sizing standards. If you are purchasing a new pair of Zhik boots but have worn Zhik boots previously, consult the size chart above; you must select a new size based on the chart, not your previous UK size. Your standard US shoe size is a good place to start!
Additionally, all 2026 Zhik boots ship with a removable sole - this is intentional. There are three options to get the right fit:
- Glue it in (recommended): Bonds permanently for a locked, performance fit. Use suitable boot adhesive and allow it to cure before use.
- Remove it entirely: Gains approximately half a size of extra room for thicker socks or wider feet.
- Upgrade to the Carbon X Insole: Replace with the Hiking X Carbon Insole for directional stiffness, enhanced power transfer, and injury prevention.
This system allows sailors to fine-tune the fit based on their preferences and intended use.
