PADDLER GUIDE GEAR LAB: ZHIK – Superthin Bootie

Welcome to the Paddler Guide Gear Lab! Today we’re reviewing the Superthin Bootie by Zhik! 

We are stoked to present you with a new format across our different channels: Product Review Videos! From the studio and on the river, we introduce you to different products, tell you all the specs you need to know, and show you how they perform on the water.

The Superthin Bootie redefines lightweight footwear with a barefoot feel that doesn’t compromise on protection.

« It feels like you’re wearing nothing, especially if you like that barefoot feel. »

While you might expect neoprene for a bootie of that type, Zhik’s Superthin Bootie comes with a high-gauge polyester mesh, making it super comfortable to wear and drying quickly. While it still gives you protection, the Bootie has a barefoot feel and is flexible. This is great for squeezing into tight boats, like freestyle or slalom, while still walking comfortably when you get out of the water.



Find the Superthin Bootie on the Paddler Guide website or on the Zhik website.
