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.

Excellent Wading Boots

"I fish hard, often from sun up to sun down. I wade some difficult streams and hike a long ways. These boots are not only comfortable and durable as wading boots, but I would even consider them to be excellent for hiking. I finally decided to give them a try and now wish I had only purchased them sooner."

Jack M. (5/5)

Fantastic comfortable boots!

"Best wading boots I’ve ever owned in 30+ years of fishing. I can’t even recall the number of wading boots I’ve owned from boots on the waders, felt sole, rubber sole. My last pair are a good pair of Flyweight from S###s Fishing. They tracked well, were light but no where near as comfortable as my new Carbon Wading boots. This are great in and out of the water and you can wear them all day and your feet fell great! So comfortable for hiking in and they tracked well very well on rocky moss cover rivers. I have found the last wading boots I’ll ever buy"

Landon P. (5/5)

Great boots

"Light and comfortable. Not crazy about your cleat choices. Overall though, very happy with them for a vibes type sole."

Bruce E. (4/5)

Carbon wading boots

"Fits perfectly with wading socks. Made extremely well and seem that they will hold up for a long time. Couldn’t be happier"

Kris R. (5/5)

Carbon boot

"Decent grip, they lace up funny at the top of the boot. Like you really have to try to get the laces in the cleat, and they seem to slip out easy. Feels like a snowboarding boot. Fairly comfortable boot, all together."

Mike L. (4/5)

Carbon boot

"Amazingly comfortable boots that are light weight with great traction. One of the best boots I’ve ever owned"

Dean D. (5/5)

Great experience

"Really solid boot, very light weight and very comfortable. I needed to return the first pair because they were too small with my stocking foot waders from Patagonia. I called and spoke to someone there at Skwala they were very helpful and talked me through the return process and gave me some fit expertise over the phone. The return process was easy and fast. I couldn’t be happier now that I have the correct size. Great boot and great customer service."

Edward I. (5/5)

I have fished these wading

"I have fished these wading boots for three days. They are easy to get on and off. They are very comfortable to hike and wade. I ordered 1/2 shoe size up for the wool socks and neoprene bootie. I would buy these boots again."

Jon K. (5/5)

Great Boots

"Bought these new and took them to New Zealand (helps to enter New Zealand with new boots to accelerate going through the environmental review). Wet waded the entire time with a wool liner sock and neoprene booties. Each day involved extensive (and generally treacherous) hiking over boulders and rocks. Boots were very comfortable, supportive and protective and performed admirably."

Michael F. (5/5)

Nice looking boot

"Nice looking and well made. Have tried them on and worn them around the house. Have not had a chance to get them wet yet, hopefully a in a few days. Want to see how they fair on the trail also."
