Zhik Sailing Boots Sizing Guide
Historically, we would advise you to go up a size with the Zhik boots as the sizing comes up small. However, we have tried these ones out and they’re much truer to size.
That said, if you like to wear a couple of layers underneath your boots, you may still want to size up.
