PALM EQUIPMENT LAUNCHES THE WAVE SNEAKER

Palm Equipment has launched the new Wave Sneaker, a performance watersports shoe built for grip, comfort and all-day use—from whitewater and rocky shorelines to coastal journeys, and everyday living around the water.

Built on the award-winning Vibram sole platform of the Gradient boot, the Wave Sneaker delivers the same trusted traction and durability in a lighter, more agile design.

The Wave Sneaker combines technical performance with a lower-profile, everyday feel. A breathable mesh upper with reinforced protection keeps weight down while maintaining durability, while a knitted ankle sock provides a secure, debris-free fit.

« Step up. Step on. »

At its core is the Vibram Idrogrip outsole, paired with a stitched construction for long-term reliability—a combination proven in demanding paddling environments.

Key features include:

  • Vibram Idrogrip sole for wet grip
  • Dual-density EVA midsole for comfort
  • Stitched sole construction for durability
  • Lightweight reinforced upper
  • Knitted ankle sock for a secure fit
  • Multi-lace system for a locked-in feel

Overview:

  • Colors: Pine and Mandarin
  • Sizes: UK 5–14 / EU 38–49
  • MSRP: £129 / 155€
