Redefining Nautical Style with the New Carter Boat Shoe, Featuring Vibram Technology
To kick off our 25th anniversary, we’re proud to introduce the Carter, part of the Spring/Summer 2026 collection.
This new style represents the latest evolution in CLAE’s decade-long partnership with Vibram, the global leader in high-performance soles. The Carter combines CLAE’s casual California design sensibility with Vibram’s technical expertise.
Inspired by life by the sea yet engineered for the modern city, the handcrafted Carter reimagines a classic nautical icon in soft Italian Nappa leather or premium suede.
Designed for effortless movement across both boat decks and city streets, the Carter sits on a non-slip Vibram Christy outsole, ensuring traction, comfort, and durability.
