First time user. Worked very well and as advertised.

Great fit and comfort. A bit of a challenge to peel off after the day of fishing.

The primary seam on both socks seems to be pulling apart after 2 days of stepping in and out of a drift boat a few times on the Clarks Fork .

Purchased these in error. They allow pebbles & dirt into both socks & shoes (4 times). Meant to purchase “flyweight wading socks” to replace pair I’ve used for 5 years. Can’t figure out why they don’t work, but so disappointing. Thought the word “guide” meant superior…. not.

Socks were too tight getting into. The curve above the ankle is the problem. The foot was ok. Your older straight version was good. My latest ones currently reside in the trash.

I bought a pair for both my son and I, to go along with Flyweight boots. We did a 2 week fly fishing trip in Glacier and Yellowstone Parks. These kept our feet comfortable hiking into the back country and warm while fishing in cool water. The socks dry quick if hung outside in the sun. I wear a size 14 and they fit well.

A must for summer wet wading. I ordered medium as the listed size matched my shoe size. However, they are very tight at the ankle and are very hard to get on. Maybe they'll loosen up a bit with wear. Anyway, well made as usual and comfortable once on.

Perfect. True to size. Comfy! I would say it slightly confusing if you have them inside or out. It would be nice if there was a two tone system so the inside color was different than the outside color. Because if you put them on inside out, the hook doesn’t quite work to attach them to the boots.

You should make larger ones. If you have size 14 or larger foot, it is very difficult to put on.

I make a lot of hikes to fish, and these allow me to hike in my wading boots and either wet wade when I get there or put on waders if needed. great option to using just one boot. Also use on the boat when water is inevitable, but waders are overkill.

I bought these for my daughter only because the Flyweight Wading Sock is not available in women's sizes. She will test them out soon on Christ Island. Hopefully they work as well as the other ones.

Pretty comfortable but I liked the old design better in the 2 pieces. They kept the sand and gravel out better

Worn them 7 times and the seems are starting to separate. They serve a purpose but I wish they were tougher

I’ve only had these about a month but have used them multiple times. These work great and very comfortable but they are a little difficult to take off when wet. I thought they might have a collar around your lower leg once you pull the upper down over your boot but they don’t. No worries, they are snug enough pebbles and sand don’t get in. They drain out the souls once out of water. Hope they wear well.

I have a pair so I bought a pair for my wife. Love the quality and function!! I always trust Sims and have never been disappointed “. Still in my waders I bought 25 years ago!!! No leaks ever!!
