Innovation & Technology
We're committed to bringing cutting-edge performance to big-game fishing footwear while keeping our footprint light on the environment
Forward-thinking fabrics. Future-proofed functionality. In-house innovations. Since day one, we've taken steps to reduce our reliance on virgin and harmful materials without compromising the grip, support, and comfort that our style of angling demands. Meet the partners and technologies that are helping us on our journey:
AQUA SLUICE GILL
We designed this integrated drainage system based on our real-world experience. Water is guided away from the foot through a network of channels, answering the call for outsole durability and quick-drying comfort in even the wettest conditions.
AQUA DECK SOLE
Intense rounds of testing from anglers, captains, and crews around the world have helped us land on a sole technology we're proud to stamp our name on. Through a combination of razor-thin incisions and high-grade natural and synthetic rubbers, we keep every angler planted to their deck.
SEAQUAL® YARN
We’ve turned to this innovative textile not only for its exceptional durability and fast-drying capabilities, but for the ingredients that make it one of the most exciting fabric solutions in our industry: 10% Upcycled Marine Plastic - collected and repurposed from marine litter – and 90% post-consumer recycled polyester.
SOLUM™
Many footwear companies rely on fossil-fuel-derived chemicals to build their outsoles, which is why we’ve turned to this 100% bio-based plant additive to replace toxic petrochemicals in our rubber outsole compound without compromising performance.
RECYCLED EVA AND rPET
In our mission to reduce our reliance on virgin materials, cut back on emissions, and help keep waste from landfills and oceans, we’ve incorporated recycled EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) into our cushioned and super supportive footbeds and midsoles, and use recycled rPET, made from post-consumer plastic, throughout our shoe designs.
