When you’re scouting rapids, hiking into remote runs, or setting up a rescue, you need footwear that grips, protects, and holds up under pressure. The Palm Gradient 3.0 Boots are purpose-built for exactly that. Designed and tested by whitewater legend Bren Orton, these boots combine a grippy Vibram Idrogrip sole with a dual-density EVA midsole for unbeatable traction and all-day comfort. The rip-stop mesh upper is reinforced with welded rubber, and the secure lace-up system plus Velcro neoprene collar keep out grit. At Canterbury Kayaking, we recommend the Gradient for paddlers who put themselves in challenging environments and need footwear that won’t let them down. This is the rescue boot we trust when performance, safety, and durability matter most.
