Skwala Carbon Wading Boot

The Skwala Carbon Boot is built for anglers who earn their fish one step at a time. It blends the light, agile comfort of a hiking boot with the rugged traction and stability essential for serious wading. At the heart of its performance is a unique Vibram® tri-tiered lug pattern—designed exclusively for this boot—which grips reliably across everything from slippery river rocks to muddy trails. Beneath your feet, rockered dual-density EVA midsoles cushion each stride and fight fatigue during long hikes, while integrated Figure-8 ESS rock plates add critical protection and torsional stability in rough current.

The boot’s “burrito-wrap” tongue locks in your foot, minimizing heel lift and enhancing fit for better control and comfort. Durability is key, and that’s where bonded seams, double lasting, and TPU-reinforced uppers come in, holding strong through season after season. A molded toecap shields against unexpected bumps and scrapes from riverbed hazards. Every design decision serves a single purpose—to help you go farther, fish harder, and stay comfortable doing it.

Here's what Skwala has to say about their Skwala Carbon Wading Boot:

As comfortable on the trail as they are in the stream, Carbon Boots let you hike farther without sacrificing stability, wet traction, or durability.

Combining the lightweight comfort of a hiking boot with the wet traction and support of a wading boot, Carbon will help you find your own fishing. Innovative and exclusive tri-tiered, stair-step, lug pattern we developed with Vibram® provides solid footing across a range of terrain. Rockered, dual-density EVA midsoles offer additional cushion and feel to reduce fatigue and improve footing on hikes, while Figure-8 ESS rock plates give you superior protection and torsional stability when wading uneven rivers. “Burrito-wrap” tongue locks your foot into place improving contact with the boot and reducing heel slippage. Molded toecap protects your feet from rocks and other obstacles. Bonded seams, double lasting, and TPU reinforced uppers give Carbon boots the added bomber durability wading boots need to withstand the rigors of serious wading. If you find fish with your legs and need a wading boot that can keep up season after season, we built the Carbon Boot for you.
