Chatham Deck Shoes
Chatham Deck Shoes
Since their founding over 30 years ago, Chatham have become an instantly-recognisable brand when it comes to deck shoes and boots. Their leading range of sailing footwear includes the highly regarded G2 collection, which we'll go into more detail about below.
Chatham G2 Deck Shoes
Chatham's signature deck shoes, the G2 collection has been designed to be the most durable deck shoes available, which is backed by the two-year manufacturer's guarantee that Chatham offer, something that trumps over footwear brands including Dubarry Deck Shoes and Orca Bay Deck Shoes.
G2 Deck Shoes are crafted from the finest oil waxed leathers with tubular moccasin construction hand sewn on the last with waxed thread, for maximum durability.
In addition, G2 deck shoes feature Chatham's anti-bacterial sole spring poron performance cushioning. Poron combines open-cell, breathable, high performance, long lasting materials with cutting edge technologies to ensure superior comfort, shock absorption and performance throughout the life of the deck shoe.
For those with wide feet, we highly recommend Chatham's Rockwell II G2 Wide Fit Deck Shoes. These are the most trusted wide fit boat shoes in the UK, owing to their quality and comfort.
