Palm Gradient Boots 3.0 Water Shoes - Black

The Palm Gradient 3.0 Boots are built for serious paddlers and watersports use, delivering maximum grip, stability and durability in wet environments. Designed specifically for kayaking, whitewater and river use, these boots feature a Vibram Idrogrip sole with aggressive traction lugs to keep your footing secure on slippery rocks, riverbanks and portages.

A dual density EVA midsole provides cushioning under the heel while maintaining control and stability through the forefoot, helping reduce fatigue during long days on the water. The low profile heel is shaped for comfort inside kayaks, while the generous toe box gives room for natural movement or thicker socks in colder conditions.

Built for durability, the Gradient 3.0 features a rip-stop mesh upper with reinforced panels, a protective welded rubber rand and a neoprene ankle collar that helps keep out grit and debris. The removable insole allows for easy adjustment depending on season or fit preference, making these boots a reliable choice year-round.

Developed and tested by pro paddler Bren Orton, the Gradient 3.0 reflects real-world performance demands. His Sherbet + Turquoise colourway carries elements of his signature style, with a portion of each sale supporting his family and legacy.
