Gradient Shoes

The Palm Gradient Shoes are designed for paddlers who need reliable footwear that performs in challenging, wet environments. Updated with stronger components and fewer seams, the Gradient delivers durability where it matters most. The Vibram HydroGrip sole provides outstanding traction on wet rock, mud and uneven ground, while the low‑profile shape fits comfortably inside a kayak. Reinforced scratch‑rubber protection wraps the upper from heel to toe, and the removable insole allows extra space for thick socks or drysuit booties. With a paddling‑specific last, TPU reinforcement and a secure lace‑up entry, these shoes offer dependable comfort, grip and protection for serious river use.
