A fully considered update to one of the most capable, comfortable wading boots in the Simms line, the new Flyweight® Boot is a balanced blend of lightweight, travel-ready performance, grippy Vibram® traction, and the kind of no-quit durability that gets it done.

Bought the SIMMs Flyweight Vibram sole for a week long trip to Alaska salmon fishing. I loved how light they were and just as durable as my previous models. My favorite SIMMS boot so far! Please maintain the solid quality in this model SIMMS!

I’ve had a lot of wading boots over the last 34 years being a fishing guide. This pair is my favorite by far! They have plenty of room in the toes and feel like I’m wearing my bird hunting boots but lighter. I have to double knot the new kind of laces to keep them from coming undone but the new laces seem like they are going to last a long time. They are so comfortable and have a lot of support. I stood on my pyramid anchor and could not feel the edge of it through the boot. I only catch and release but these are keepers! They also keep almost all the sand out when wading so you do not have to rinse the sand out daily when done fishing. I wear a size 10 shoe and ordered the size 11 boot.

I took these boots fly fishing in Alaska for Coho salmon. Best boots I have ever owned. They were super comfortable for long hikes and long days on the water and looked great as well!!

Very comfortable to wear all day whether walking and wading or getting in an out of a drift boat.

I bought these one size larger than normal to accommodate my heated winter socks. Put everything on and looks like it is going to work like a charm. Will let you know in December.

I wore these boots every day for a week of fishing at the Rainbow River Lodge in Alaska. They were incredibly comfortable in the boat, wading and walking around. The traction was exceptional and they dried quickly. NO doubt they contributed to the exceptional fishing I had :) thanks for a superlative product! Dr Trout

I bought a pair for my son and I to hike into the backcountry and fly fish. These are both a good hiking and wading boot.

Paired this boot with the Korker’s neoprene socks sz M. Recently did 5 days in the Sierras hiking and fly fishing to test these out. Freestone water and lots of big smooth boulders. Spent a lot of time in the water and hiking, and have to say these are incredible boots. We’ll see how long they hold up, but they grip fantastic on dry boulders, slip around a bit on wet slimy bottom rock as one would expect are super lightweight, drain very well and are super comfortable. Wanted to keep wearing them around camp after fishing. They also dry out fairly quickly. Pretty impressed so far.

I bought these to save some space and weight while traveling. They have since became my primary wading boots. They are comfortable and are noticeably lighter than most other wading boots. They fit just a little larger than size which made them perfect for stocking foot waders and my wet wading neos.

Confortable and solid boot for professional use. A guide choice for sure.

They’re lightweight decent boots but the previous models had 2 hooks for the top 2 lace eyelets making that version easier to put on, these don’t open as wide so a bit difficult to put em on

Lightweight and well designed. Haven’t used them in the streams yet as I’m waiting for the cleats that are back ordered. Tried them on and walked around the house and they are comfortable, time will tell….

Perfect for summer fishing, will also work great for wet wading

Best wading boots I have ever owned. Near perfect combination of light weight, traction and durability. I have used them for nearly a year now … regularly fishing the rivers throughout the Texas Hill Country. I can easily traverse a variety of river bottom types … gravel/grit, rolling rock, boulders n even silty. Also great for hiking along river bank to portage around unsafe river spots.

I got these when they switched to this style and they have been great. Very lightweight and have held up well for over a year. I try to fish two to three days a week.
