Frequently asked questions about Rouchette
What's the difference between Cap, Regate and Skipper?
The Cap is the half-high entry sailing boot (to just below the calf) for inland water and short coastal sailing — comfortable, affordable and good for recreational day sailors. The Regate has a higher shaft (to above the calf) and offers more protection in coastal sailing. The Skipper Offshore is the premium version with extra insulation lining and reinforced sole — suited for offshore sailors and winter conditions. For most recreational sailors Cap or Regate is enough.
How do I size a Rouchette sailing boot?
Rouchette sailing boots are sold in standard European shoe sizes (36 to 47). Fit in dry condition with a thick wool or thermal sock. A well-fitting sailing boot has half a size more in length than your normal shoe size, for the thick sock. When in doubt between two sizes choose the larger — you can always wear a thicker sock.
How do I care for my Rouchette sailing boots?
Rinse your boots briefly with fresh water after a saltwater session. Pull out the insole for faster drying and let them dry with the opening upward in the shade, not near a heater or in direct sun (PVC can harden). Treat the outside occasionally with PVC care product. Store them upright in winter in a dry room — not folded.
Which Rouchette for children?
The Rouchette Cap Kid in dark blue is the specific children's version with adapted last and smaller sizes (from 28). The Cap kids model has the same half-high shaft as the adult version. From about 12 years the adult Cap women's version usually fits. For younger kids on summer days an Explor water shoe or Kosmik clog is often a more cheerful alternative.
