I have an offer to sail from Newfoundland to Maine this fall and am need of a new pair of seaboots for the voyage.
I ordered a pair of the Gill offshore boots but they don't fit right. Length is good, but they're way too loose over the top of my foot, even in a heavy sock. They also seem very flimsy and not very supportive.
Xtratufs were an Alaskan staple, but I hear their quality has gone way down after being bought out. Muck boots could be another option, but I'm not sure about how grippy they are, or if they're non-marking.
I ordered a pair of the Zhik offshore boots for my wife, who gets cold feet easily. They seem like they'll work really well for her, but I hate to spend that much on myself.
Do any of you cold weather sailors have some you really like?
