Flyweight Boots With Vibram Soles

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

After 2 Weeks In Glacier And Yellowstone Parks

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.

Simms Flyweight Boot Sz10

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.

Great Boots

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.

Solid Boots!

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

Decent Boots, Hard To Put On

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

Boots Appear To Be As Advertised

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….

Super Light And Comfortable

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

Best Wading Boots I Have Ever Owned

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.

Great Boots!

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.

Great Boots

The boots are light weight and fit great. Hopefully they’ll hold up as well as all my other Simms products.

Tough, Lightweight Quality Wading Boot

I purchased these boots for a week long expedition fly fishing N. Patagonia in Argentina. Felt is not allowed in Argentina. They are comfortable, true to fit with a durable upper and sole. I was able to navigate both rough terrain and aquatic environments with relative ease. Very light weight boot. Great ankle support. Not as good a wet traction as felt but to be expected.

Lightest Wading Boot And More Comfortable

This time I brought my G4's to an outlet with the socks I knew I was going to wear. I sat there for an hour trying on all the different brands and sizes. Simms fit the best; you know, there's a little bit of an art to fitting a neoprene boot foot and getting it to feel right. The other brands felt too narrow even if they were long enough. I'm also super excited about the weight of this boot, it's super light. Simms keeps making great stuff, yeah every company has a hiccup from time to time but it's how they handle that, and Simms is standing behind their products.

Flyweight Boots

So far so good. Fits perfect, light weight, only had them out a handful of days. Still wearing my old G3s. Saving these for Summer guide season but wanted to break them in. First with no studs, surprised by traction. Then put studs in, really good grip on medium cobble. Bonus they came with an extra set of laces. All in all we'll see how they hold up with daily use this Summer. Definitely easy to hike in compared to other heavier, more restricted models. They also dry quicker and are easier to put on when dry compared models with leather uppers.

Best Version Yet

I’ve been a fan of ultralight wading boots for a while, going back to the original Simms Vapors. However, the Flyweights (I owned 3 generations) never quite held up to the grind of my backcountry fishing, and I found myself replacing them after a single season, and at times even went to competitors. But the latest version is the boot I’ve been looking for. Still light, but weight has not been shaved for the sake of being light. More thought has been given to create durability as well, particularly the sides, and that’s a winning combo. The boots remind of of the evolution of a Toyota Tacoma- started off small, but has gradually gotten beefier to allow for more uses. . I can still skip around on boulders, and do the 3-5 mile hikes at altitude, but I know I’ll see more than a season from these boots. So far, so good.
