Updated Rowing Shoes
November 2010
We have launched a slightly updated version of our shoes following customer feedback.
* We have changed the shoes to Silver to reduce the heat gain you get from direct sunlight in extremely hot climates. In normal conditions they were fine but we had a few comments from people using them without socks (which we don't recommend) in summer in the southern USA.
* We have changed the chassis to an exotic toughened DuPont Zytel ST801 Nylon after a Dutch 8 had a head on crash and broke 2 pairs of shoes. The new material is much tougher and is also twice as flexible.
* We have upgraded the grade of Velcro used as it has a better adhesive on it.
All future shipments will be to the updated design and if any existing customers experience problems we will happily resolve them.
