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.

Great Boot!

These were a replacement for two pair of BOA laced boots. I'm happy with them.

2nd Pair

My first pair has held together after 50 to 60 days of wading mud, sand, shell and grass in the flats of teh middle Texas coast. Wear them over waders until water warms.

Durable And Light

These boots are a great all around boot. Super support and light and great for traveling as well as long hikes

Lightweight Yet Supportive

I bought these to replace my Orvis ultralight boots, which I absolutely loved. For some reason Orvis changed a winning boot and the new one is not getting good press so I thought I would try these. By comparison, these are much lighter and dry a lot quicker. They don’t seem quite as grippy on slippery stones, and as many reviews mention, the gravel guard hook is just not in the right place, so I hook to my laces instead (a minor irritation, but something that should be so simple to get correct). As far as longevity goes, time will tell but so far I’m very happy with these.

Men's Flyweight Boot-vibram

Men's Flyweight Boot-Vibram was an excellent and comfortable wading boot the first time I used it last week. It was surprisingly sturdy for such a light wading boot and pairs extremely well with your wading pants waders.

You Improved My Favorite Wadding Boot!

My old Fly weight boots lasted 4 years of fishing 150+ days a year. These new boots look & feel like they will last longer than that! I absolutely love them. The new vibram sole is definitely less slippery on river rock, and the overall boot feels much more durable than it predecessor (my old ones were very durable). The lace system finally failed on my old boots & they have totally redone that! I’ve used them every day for the last 3 weeks and they barely look warm. Simms, you guys nailed it again with these boots - that’s why your the best… keep up the good work!

Check The New Size Quite, They Run A Size Smaller Then Past Shoes

I’m a 9. 5 women’s and for years I’ve bought a simms men’s 8 and they fit perfectly but I bought these and they’re def too tight with waders in. Other than that they are so comfortable and light weight.

Men Flyweight Boot

So far the boot has been excellent. Fit is comfortable and true to size. The proof of the pudding will be in the durability over this season. The last iteration of this boot did not hold up so well. However lets cross that bridge when we get there. Good to go.

Love New Design

The new rubberized material seems more durable than the previous version. Feels great and still light weight
