Simms Flyweight Access Wet Wading Shoes: Why Buy Anything Else?

Why would these not work for stocking foot waders as well?

Hmm, thought Brian was a Korkers guy

IMO korkers btw interchangable soles how could that be wrong from hiking to wading with sims I about broke my neck sorry I disagree Brian!

Simms makes a “guide wet wading sock” that pairs excellent with their wet wading shoes or wet wading boots. It’s made for this reason and wears wonderful. Used mine dozens upon dozens of times for 3 seasons and they are still holding up very well. If you buy the boots or shoes get the socks made for this, it’s a game changer!

Im Skeptical about the vibram soles. Ive owned several hiking boots with vibram soles and they are so slippery on wet rocks.

Interested in your thoughts on use on tropical flats?

Brian, when’s the hair tutorial coming out ?!? Love the content and the hair, keep on 🫵🏼🐟🐟

FWIW I wear these Simms Flyweight Access Wet Wading Shoes every single weekend for 10-15 hours of wading for bonefish in Saudi. While they are truly one of the most comfortable shoes/boots I have ever worn they tend to fill with fine silt after about 4 hours of wading especially is mangrove silty sand. For the life of me I can not figure out why there are such deep recesses in between the neoprene and the side supports. I clean the very well by rinsing them and taking out the insoles every use and no matter how well I clean them once they dry out I can pour sand out of these a few days after they dry. I tend to wear them with heavy tough smart wool socks. If you are walking rocky waters or shorelines I think they are awesome and I would wear them all day long every day. For freshwater in and out of streams I think they would excel. I highly recommend them but wish they would stitch close the seams between support and the neoprene. For traversing coral the soles are perfect. I am going to try adding the wading sock to see if it help with the small amount of sand that gets into the foot bed after a few hours.

How cringe are those glasses? Lol.
