Simms Fishing

Field Notes

Wading boots are worn with waders to provide traction and ankle support while fishing in rivers, streams, and other wadeable water. Felt soles are especially useful on slick rock and algae-covered bottoms where grip matters most.

Pros

  • Felt sole offers strong traction on slick stream bottoms
  • High-cut design provides support and protection while wading
  • Purpose-built for fly fishing wading use

Cons

  • Felt soles can retain moisture and debris
  • Not ideal where felt is restricted or banned
  • Less versatile than general hiking footwear
