“2008 marks a giant leap forward for Simms footwear.
We’ve redesigned our line of wading boots, introducing some of our
lightest and most durable models yet. And while our new footwear is
lighter than ever, we’ve continued to utilize superior materials and
construction techniques for unsurpassed performance in the field.
Additions
to our lineup include the tough but comfortable leather guide boots and
the backcountry-ready Rivershed™ in felt and rubber Aquastealth®. And
you can outfit most of our boots with carbide studs for extremely
slippery conditions. Several of our new models feature our Cleanstream™
design, which facilitates cleaning in order to help prevent the spread
of aquatic invasive species.
Whether you’re fishing in the
current, on the flats or traversing moss covered rocks, all of our
boots, sandals and sneakers feature advanced sole materials such as
high-density felt and AquaStealth® that provide you with the best
traction possible. Because, when you’re in pursuit of fish, you
shouldn’t have to worry about staying on your feet. Designed to
withstand the toughest of fishing environs, Simms footwear utilizes an
assortment of high-tech materials, including water-resistant Nubuck
leather in our all new Guide Boot, to achieve the ideal combination of
comfort and durability. If you’ve got a wide foot or a narrow foot, a
big budget or a small one, we have footwear that will meet your needs
and stand the test of time.
Felt Soles
Felt
soles offer great traction in most conditions. We use thick 7/16th”
high-density felt for extended wear. The felt is perimeter stitched and
cemented to the midsole, ensuring a lasting and durable bond.
Carbide-tipped Studded Felt soles offer increased traction in rivers
with very slippery rocks."
Simms Wading Boot Notes
"COLD FEET ARE FOR WEDDINGS”
“Dependable, well-made wading foot-wear is a necessity for anglers.
What you need on your feet is something that's comfortable to wear, can
take a lot of abuse, provides plenty of protection and offers superior
traction and stability. We have designed our wading boots, sneakers and
sandals to meet the demands of professional guides and anglers around
the globe.”
Why Simms?
"Why do professional guides choose Simms? Because we take pride in
what we make, and products have been designed to go the distance. Our
in-house design team has a combined 50 years of experience in making
durable technical outerwear. We work closely with top material
suppliers from around the globe, and continually test both our new and
old products in the lab and out in the field to make sure we meet or
exceed your expectations.
Nothing pleases us more than to see
our products, like those on the guides featured in out catalog and on
our website, go the distance.”
“The thrill of discovering a pristine stream after a long hike into the backcountry,
the exhilarations of being on the flats on one of those incredibly
clear days, the rush of a crisp morning on a British Columbia river
when the steelies are running, these are the memories that keep us
tying through the dark winter months, and always find us plotting our
next angling season or weekend.
At Simms, we never forget that
the goal of every committed angler is to stay on the water as long and
has often as possible-regardless of the weather. That’s why we never
stop looking for new ways to keep you dry and comfortable. Whether
you’re waist deep in a drizzling snow on the Missouri or scouting the
Keys in the sweltering heat of a June afternoon.
For 2007,
we're delighted to present the new zippered G4 Guide wader, the most
technical wader we’ve ever created. We’re also proud to introduce the
two most competitive waders under two hundred dollars, the first
GORE-TEX wader for kids and a full arsenal of new clothing.
So for all those who will be out there earlier, longer and later, we’ve got just one thing to say: Your Gear is Ready”

Simms on Conservation
“IF YOU COULD PASS JUST ONE THING DOWN TO YOUR KIDS, WHAT WOULD IT BE?”
“Fishing is dependent on clean water, healthy ecosystems
and just as important, people who care about conservation and resource
preservation. It is the responsibility of everyone who enjoys angling
to help protect and enhance our fresh and saltwater fisheries. After
all, what greater inheritance would we leave future generations?
Supporting
local, regional, and national conservation organizations is certainly
an important role that angles can play in caring for our fishing
resources. However, one area of vital concern, and one that all anglers
can easily help do something about, is the spread of aquatic invasive
species. These “hitchhikers”, including New Zealand mud snails, Didymo
and whirling disease are having an enormous effect on rivers across the
United States and are directly linked to reduced trout populations.
Unfortunately, anglers are part of the problem, given that invasive
species are spread by “hitchhiking” on waders, wading boots, drift
boats, trailers and other gear.
Aquatic invasive species, such
as mudsnails, are threatening our resources. One of the primary ways
aquatic nuisance species are spread is by “hitching” a ride on our
clothing, boats and items used in the water.
We must all be
diligent about proper cleaning and care of any equipment or gear that
enters the water, particularly boots and waders. Below are some general
procedures for preventing the transportation of aquatic hitchhikers.
Before
leaving any body of water, it is important to examine all equipment,
boats, trailers, clothing, boots, buckets, etc. and remove all visible
mud, plants, and fish/animals."
- Eliminate water from all equipment before transporting anywhere.
- Clean and dry anything that came in contact with the water.*
- Do not release or put plants, fish or animals into a body of water unless they came out of that body of water.
*While there are varying solutions for proper and safe cleaning
of equipment to kill aquatic hitchhikers, the following is recommended
and will not harm our waders: Use hot (< 40° C or 104° F) water to
clean your equipment or dip equipment into 100% vinegar (or soak your
gear in a 9 to 1 solution of water and bleach or 409) for 20 minutes.”
