I had twice the Ocean Racer Boots, which are very comfortable to wear, but for the Southern Ocean or any Offshore race that takes a bit longer and gets rougher and wetter, they are not recommended.
So what are the alternatives?
My personal choice is the boots from Le Chameau, including the Skipper's choice and also recommended by Fierce Turtle. Nevertheless, the majority of Qingdao wear the Zhik boots.
Few believe the Crosshaven Sailing Boot from Dubarry suits such harsh conditions. I think they are the best-looking ones.
Last but not least, few crew members were very satisfied with the Offshore Boots from Ronstan. Definitely comfortable and waterproof, but the boot has no gaiter. When you are on the bow, I promise you that at least one wave will flush into your suit. The only solution: Don't go to the bow when the water splashes on deck.
