Simms Fishing

Field Notes

Wading boots are worn with stockingfoot waders to provide traction and ankle support while fishing in rivers, streams, and other wadeable water. The felt sole is intended to improve grip on slick rocks and streambeds, especially in moving water.

Pros

  • Felt sole offers traction on slick stream bottoms
  • High-cut design supports ankles while wading
  • Durable boot construction for river use

Cons

  • Felt soles can be restricted in some waters due to invasive-species regulations
  • Not ideal for hiking long distances on dry land
