Solid Footwear

Bought these on a whim just to try. Was pretty impressed. Comfortable and seem to be durable. They tend to not breath as well as I thought they would so they get a little steamy when it’s hot. Overall I like them and would buy again

Comfy But Needs Improvement

The Drifter has potential to make a great skiff shoe for FL. It's comfy, provides heel and arch support, and stays in place with no socks on in the heat. The problem is they are prone fly line snags on the skiff bow. The strap sticks out and the toe is designed to curl upwards leaving ample room for fly line to get wedged under it. Fly fishing shoes should be flat and flush with the deck. With proper line mgmt it's possible to get by but they could be better.

Comfy But Loose

Very comfortable but a little loosy when sweating or wet. Would get a bit smaller next time.

Awesome Shoes For The Avid Fly-fisher

These shoes are super comfortable and work so well when fishing in a boat, SUP, kayak. They adapt Crock concept with adjustable buckle, water footbed, comfortable heel strap, and a great light color. I have been wearing them this last week, easy to get on/off, super comfortable with decent stability, like the micro sipe's so I don't slip on the dock or boat, adjustable buckle adds flexibility so I can add light socks, no socks, also can use light 3mil wading socks from Simms. Great job Simms!

Awesome Shoes

I got these shoes for my Dad for his birthday and he loves them! He usually wears Crocs, but these are so much better.

Fisherman’s Crocs

Love these pair of boat shoes. Awesome quality, light, and look better than crocs, while functioning similar. Only reason I did not give 5 stars is I thought these would be easier to slip on without getting heel caught, but not an issue at all, more a preference thing. Overall love the shoes.

Great Deck Shoe

I recently purchased these Drifters. Very nice, fit true to size, and well made.

New Shoes

Although I've not had these shoes very long, I've really enjoyed them. I'm hoping they hold up and last like my Crocs typically do.

Fishing Shoes

My grandson will love these to use on his boat! He says they are very comfortable.

My Everyday Shoe!

Love these new drifters. Great quality and very comfortable for every day use and even better on the water! Simms always sets the bar high.

Narrow And Sending Them Back.

They are to narrow and we must return them. Bring back the hooded fishing shirt with the mask built-in!

Warranty Issue

Love the shoe but after a few days of use the gum sole started to delaminate from one of the shoes. Currently working with Simms on a warranty replacement.

Great Shoes!!

I have enjoyed these so much since they arrived! I have not worn them fishing but they are great for around town. I do look forward to trying them out either wet wading or wearing them with neoprene foot waders. I ordered a size up from my regular shoe size to have lots of room. The strap is great to provide stability. I have worn Crocs for wet wading before but these are a step up.
