5 MarkM
Broke these in on a 2- day trip in the Driftless spent guiding 7 other anglers. Tons of miles in and out of streams. Boots performed flawlessly and offered an upgrade in traction over my previous pair of Tributary boots. Highly recommend.

5 garryp
Boots fit true to size very well, recommend studs for sure, which I forgot to purchase, should be tough lasting for a guide pace, Thanks for great products.

5 MicahK
They are so solid for the price. All year long they still perform even in mossy or rocky areas.

5 AydenV
Awesome boots, they 've been great for long walks and have really good tread so I 'm not slipping on wet rocks.

5 DanielL
I ’ m pleased with both the ankle and arch support these boots have. They are a huge upgrade from my previous boots from another manufacturer.

Great comfortable boot. Used them the first day of fishing, Water was slightly high from all the rain we had. They hold their grip. Best pair of wading boots I ever found.

5 I SurfCast
I have n't wore them yet. Still have a month or so before the fishing picks up in my area. But I 'm ready!

5 4Aces
Excellent service from Devin St. Hill. Purchased a Nike shirt and some cleats& overall had a good experience

5 Ryandow1
These were purchased a month or so ago and I 've used them a few times in good and bad weather. They were an excellent bargain and work quite well.

Sims has awesome shoes for saltwater wading on the texas flats for redfish and trout with or without waders. They are very comfortable and the high quality.

5 RichardR
These flats shoes rock! They keep sand out and stand up to everything from sand, to skiffs, to razor sharp coral.

5 TravisB
Great boot! Materials feel durable the soles have very good traction and very comfortable!

5 NoahR
So far I ’ ve used it wading off the beaches in Belize and have had no issues with them. They are comfy and sturdy. The arches are slightly high if you have flat feet like mine but I quickly got use to them. I also went a half size up to pair them with the Fly weight wading socks.

5 WilliamB
First trip in my Simms Flats Sneakers was on a weeklong bonefishing trip to Mars Bay on South Andros. I normally wear a shoe size of 7. 5- 8 wide, but went with size 9 on the Flats Sneakers with the neoprene socks. Fit was great. We waded some pretty significant distances on a couple of days, and the Sneakers were very comfortable. Glad I got them, and I ’ d certainly recommend them highly. Caught some nice fish too. I figure it was the Sneakers. Why not!

5 KeenanC
The boot is fairly lightweight and rugged. Very simple boot without much to it. Fits true to size and is able to lace up securely. Not as stiff as most other wading boots. I like that it has the metal rivets along the eyelights for the laces. These boots appear as if they were made to last. I would recommend this boot to others. It was a tad bulkier than what it appears in the picture, but not excessively so. Fits well with a lot of good support. Easy to walk in for a long day of fishing.

5 PatrickD
Fit great easy to get on and off. I have mobility and flexibility issues and was able to tie them with no difficulty. Wore them for 7 hrs in 44 Degree water my feet were warm all day long. I need a cane to walk and these bots gave me an added to my ability to wade in more rocket water.

4 marks
A good fit and comfortable. The rubber sole is different than a felt sole. It took some getting used to on slippery river rocks but was fine overall.

4 RLP3
Great boot. I wear a size 9 boot and the size 11 wader boot fit me perfectly. They recommended size 10 but was too tight. Very comfortable.

5 Trout Fishermen
The Greenback is lighter more flexible and the most comfortable wading boot I have tried. I added the felt spiked sole and what a great combination. It ’s more fun fishing if your not slipping on the rocks. The Greenback with spiked sole definitely keeps me on the stream longer

5 Jeremyhdjfjfj
Picked up these as my first pair of wading boot, fit well and like the fact that the soles can change to fit your needs

5 Itsthatchino

5 Animal rescuer
I bought these for trout season The felt bottoms stick great on slipper rocks and after wearing them for 3 days straight my feet did not hurt at all!

5 Matt I
I do a lot of fishing and these boots are great. I usually wear a size 12 but since I would be using these with waders I went up a size to a size 13 and they are perfect. The different treads on the bottom are a little hard to change but that ’s not something you do often anyway.

5 BenC
I spend more time on foot than in the boat so I was after a boot that would be durable and sturdy across land as much as in the water. The M's Flyweight are performing well in this regard. The sole is remarkably `` sticky '' so far and inspires a lot of confidence in stability. I ca n't imagine what they 'd be like with cleats! They are a boot so they do have a bit of heft to them, but relative to other boots I have used these are pretty light.

5 DonaldA
Awesome Boots…Very light weight and great comfort!!

5 DaveF
The wading boot is light, yet durable. Very comfortable. My favorite wading boot hands down. I wear them about 300 days a year.

5 Tommi
I purchased these shoes in early Feb and have just worn them now. I am impressed with the comfort and support they offer. We go on cruises and I prefer `` water '' shoes over sandals. The style is great and I will also wear them for low impact workouts. The fact that they are water proof and dry quickly is a bonus. I wash all my work- out shoes and air dry them. They come out looking like new. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

[ These shoes look well made. I plan to use these for rafting. I haven ’ t worn them yet, but the regular size that I ordered fit. They do seem to be on the narrow side, which works for me. Looking forward to hikes on the river and rafting in them.

These appear to be solid wading boots and I haven ’ t put them to the test just yet, but I ’ m happy with the purchase. I wear a size 8 shoe angle got these in 9 to fit into my waders with neoprene- booties, and the fit is right on the money.

5 MarnaR
The boots are terrific. Lightweight yet rugged. And finally laces that only need a tiny tug to snug up the laces. For future reference, I do wish there were a few more places for studs in each boot. Sill a fabulous bot.

5 DougR
Great fit on this women's sized wade boot. I did, as suggested purchase one size up from my street shoe size to accommodate the neo bootie on my waders.

5 MarieH
I needed a pair of non- felt- bottom wading boots for a New Zealand trip and the first pair I ordered were too large. The replacements came quickly, but without enough time to break them in before the trip. Not a problem at all – I put my flyweights on brand new with a pair of neoprene socks and was perfectly comfortable from the get- go, hiking miles through rocky riverbeds, crossing rivers all day long, wet- wading in total comfort. A fantastic product.

5 MalloryT
I bought these for wet wading. With most wading boots, I really struggle to find something that ’s comfortable for the kinds of miles I hike to a fishing spot, then the duration of my fishing, too. Others either don ’ t offer any support, are too clunky, or too heavy. These have finally solved all my problems!!!! They fit so well and feel like a good pair of hiking boots. The vibram soles are also a game changer. My favorite wading boots to date! For wet wading, I ordered my typical boot size and they fit well with wading socks.

Over all I love these boots, light, easy on and off, great grip with stud, and they have help up well. My only criticism is the web shoe lace eyes seen to be a little light. They have started to fray a little and one of them has torn through. I would have given a 4 1/2 but couldn ’ t, they are still a great boot.

5 CaptBillD
Comfortable, lightweight wading boot. Great for long hikes in the river

5 MikeC
Just what I was looking for in a lower profile boot to move around rivers with greater freedom from a heavier wading boot. Fit is true, comfortable, and performs well on all wading situations. Great product!

5 RichardW
Fantastic wading boots! Lightweight and low profile provides good ankle support and dexterity while boulder hopping compared to a high profile boot. Love the option for felt bottom soles as the waters in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina can get pretty slick. Thanks for another great product Simms!

[ I wear a size 11 shoe and bought 12. With a 4 mm wader booty and a medium thickness sock they fit perfectly. I just spent 7 days fishing, waddling and going through mucks and swamp getting to the creeks and streams. The Boa system works well. My heel stayed planted in the heel cup. The soles stayed put.

These boots are phenomenal! They are incredibly light, extremely comfortable, and the soles are remarkably effective on wet slippery rocks. I bought them primarily as a travel boot, but I have used them a bunch this winter in Montana and have really enjoyed the easy mobility they provide and the hold they allow on river bottoms. They have become my go- to boot, displacing a bunch of far burlier boots. Give them a try...
