Here is a video from flyfishingoutfitters.com at the fly fishing tradeshow. They interviewed a representative from Simms and introduced their new wading boot technology. These boots look awesome. I've never tried them, but I'd love to try a pair. If you've tried them or own them, please comment below and let me know how you like them. I still use my felt-bottom boots that came with my Redball chest-waders. Anyhow, these new boots were designed to help minimize the spread of aquatic nuisance species. Also, they were designed to be comfortable, non-slip and easy to clean.
Here is a description of the boot's features...
- Water-repellent full grain Nubuck leather construction for durability
- CleanStream™ design utilizes Schoeller®-dynatec high abrasion-resistant mesh panels with NanoSphere® treatment for easy cleaning
- ToughTek® material surrounds ankles for greater support
- Mesh tongue & full neoprene lining
- Dual-density molded EVA wedge and TPU molded plate for tortional support
- Molded TPU external heel clip protects ankles and provides support
- Full-coverage molded rubber toe cap for durability and protection
- High quality, non-corrosive brass hardware and contoured NATO speed lacing system with high quality nylon laces
- Features our new StreamTread™; traction sole with Vibram® Idrogrip™ 360 traction lug sole
- Offered in men's sizes 7-14 EEE
Bottom-line, these new Simms wading boots look awesome. Their not cheap, though. Check out the listings that I've found, starting around $150 (free shipping).
