Always love your reviews and honesty about products

I wore them to Mexico for a trip recently, and can't wait for the weather here in Montana to get warm enough to wear them wet wading. They were perfect for chasing bonefish down South, and I have a feeling they'll be just as solid up here in the North this Summer!

Love the videos man 😁😁 keep producing amazing content

Just ordered a pair. I’ve been looking for something I could hike 10 miles in and stop to wade and fish with. I’ll give these a shot!

[rschreck]

When I was testing the packable waders for Patagonia I wore them with trail running shoes. Was so nice to not have clunky wading boots on. I might look into these.

Have you tried the Korkers all axis? I am interested in more of a strict wet wading shoe vs an all around warm water/boat shoe. Really haven’t seen a ton on the Korkers and like the idea of being able to switch soles with my wading boots.

Thanks Brian. Got a pair of em for stalking redfish on the Hong Kong flats. Will be bringing em to Southeast Asia jungle rivers for mahseer

I have a feeling i would wear the sole down real quick. I'm not sure I'll go for these.

[adrummer]

Having surveyed hundreds of miles of streams over the years, have worn about every brand and type of sole out there.

Interested how they are on the mossy bedrock and boulders and downed trees here in the PNW!

Nice review video Brian. How do they dell with shimmy & mossy rocks 🤔

[ldavis]

Thanks for the entertaining review!
What is the foot bed like? Supportive? Can you add the Simms insoles? How wide would you say the toe box is?

[eriksey]

Wonder how well they keep gravel out. Fishing Michigan streams and rivers it can be an issue

[adammatthews]

How about walking the flats in the Low Country?

[jiegong]

Hi - thank you for the review! Do you think this will do will walking the jetties as well? Thank you!

[rogerbird]

I would think that Simms, who make excellent wading boots, would hit this out of the ball park. And, by your review, it looks like they did. I am a Teva/Keen man, but I do need something a little heavier duty for saltwater, and it looks like these may be it. Thank you!

[jefferywheaton]

just got these, headed to Bolivia in a few weeks. The front part of my quick lace (where it seems welded) broke! I hand tied it, but could/should I try to replace it or just go like this? Seems functional. How often does this happen? Should I exchange?

[brianshoffner]

I wear 15 6E. Does anyone make wading boots/shoes over size 14?

[Honkus]

Would you wear these with booted waders? I have some boots in need of replacing, and I typically wet wade when possible but wouldn't mind using shoes for wet wading and with waders.

I'm sure that these little knobbers have their place however I would tear those up in no time in the rip rap. They look cool tho. Simms have awesome designers, marketing geniuses they are.
