A true walking boot for the river. These are a big step up from the big and clunky traditional wading boot. So far these things are awesome.

These boots are great! They are very lightweight yet they sit high on the ankles and give great support. I wear a shoe size 8.5, but sometimes I wear a size 9 shoe size. I elected to go with a size 9 shoe, rather than a 10 and I am glad I did. I can wear these with my g3 guide waders with wool socks, and they fit. The socks I wear with them though aren't overly thick (i.e. midnight wool socks). But at the same time I am able to wear these boots with just neoprene wading socks, and they are not too loose. ReelFlyRod does so good with shipping quickly. They quickly notified me that they did not have them in stock, but ordered them directly from Simms for me, and still go them to me in about 5-6 days after the purchase. I am very happy with this purchase!

Ridiculous! I purchase this pair before a four day trip and so was pleased there was no break-in for these boots. Hiked in and out of spots included long boggy pastures to mountain goat terrain and was giddy the whole time. I've purchased my share of wading boots over the decades and these are the bomb. I do agree that if you're into algae slick rocks, best to install the studs. It will be easier. Secondly, my hat is off to ReefFlyRod. Joe Penry responded to my email really fast and I ordered that day. Look no further if you're in the market for a great pair of wading boots.

Love these boots. Great for hiking in and fishing the mountain streams.

As a female, I was a bit hesitant that these wouldn't fit as well as the women specific boots... but I was wrong. These are more comfortable and lighter than all the Simm's and Orvis Women's Wading Boots (I tried them all!). I normally wear a women's size 9... I purchased the Flyweight in a Men's 7 first... but they were snug so I returned for a size 8. Also, the orange coloring isn't my favorite but my waders cover that part almost completely.
The boots are great and the customer service at ReelFlyRod was fantastic.

I was looking for a lightweight set of boots to use during summer when I'm not wearing any waders and these were perfect. They look good plus are very comfortable. Great for hiking too. Can't ask for more right now.

I paired these boots with the Simms guide guard sock, which is also a must have!
The boots are extremely comfortable in and out of the water. I hiked several miles each day on all types of terrain.
The only thing I can say negatively is the studs (sold separately) have started to come out, and some are loose.
Other than that, Simms has created another 5 star product!

I have been fishing with these wading boots for months. Holding up great. Light weight and awesome for hiking into tough spots. Tip is buy the studs to help with better traction

Super light boots! Some of the best I've owned.

Tried them on at a local store, SUPER light! Very comfortable and protects the ankles.
