Complementing the existing Aroshell® Race, Isotak® and new Isotak® Ocean ranges, Zhik has developed the ZK Seaboot ™.

“We poured our heart and sole into this one!” remarked Bart Milczarczyk, Design manager at Zhik. “This project just took years. It seems that everyone was wrong in the beginning, and it wasn’t until the first year of prototypes was over and we starting the project from scratch again, that we finally began to make real progress. I think we were tricked by the industry, and had to discover what was right from first principals”.

“Fundamentally, breathable fabrics in boots are a bad idea. That’s something we had to work out. After that, we did what was necessary to make a completely water tight and dry boot comfortable”.

The ZK Seaboot™ features an all new application of Hydromerino ® for the inner lining, which is a unique combination of Merino wool and quick drying polyester fibers in a composite that provides natural odor control, moisture management and warmth.

The ZK Seaboot ™ is a completely sealed neoprene and rubber upper for 100% waterproof protection. For optimal grip in both dry and wet conditions the proprietary ZK Sole ™ is used. The Zhik ZK Sole™ is well optimized for wet conditions, and is being incorporated in a family of footwear products.

To ensure that the ZK Seaboot™ has ultimate protection from the elements, a waterproof gator has been incorporated into the boot, including a perforated neoprene gusset for drainage and non-stretch draw cord at the opening to keep secure.
