Simms G4 Guide Boots
Amongst the many ‘extraneous’ items that the keen fly fisherman will need to purchase at some point, are wading boots. The purpose of a wading shoe or wading boot is straightforward – to keep you comfortably standing and walking around in a river or on the slippery rocks and banks that border it. Many of the better wading shoes and boots are thought to be those with felt soles, said to provide the best traction. However, many manufacturers are now recognising that felt soles can harbor organisms harmful to fish and other species if introduced to their habitat. One boot maker has come up with a new technology and produced their Simms G4 Guide Boots. These use CleanStream™ technology design or elements of it, like the Vibram Streamtread™ rubber sole jointly developed by Simms and Vibram to replace felt-soled boots. This development make it more difficult for dangerous microorganisms to attach to wading gear and makes the gear easier to properly clean.

StreamTread rubber sole – good grip, easy to clean
Bellowed leather tongue
Internal 3D ankle stabilizer

This top quality wading boot features a minimal amount of exposed stitching in its synthetic Schoeller® dynatec abrasion-resistant mesh upper for both durability and microorganism resistance. The G4 Guide boot sports a bellowed leather tongue for easy-on and easy-off and a contoured speed lacing system with high quality, non-corrosive hardware and roller guide eyelet for friction-free adjustment. Fully lined with closed cell neoprene for minimal water absorption out in the stream, this boot also utilizes molded toe and heel counters to eliminate toe box collapse and provide a better fitting boot. An important feature of any wading boot is ankle support, and the Simms G4 Guide Boot utilises a one-piece PU midsole and internal 3D ankle stabilizer delivers support for your feet and legs while fishing. So, not only do the G4 Guide boots help to keep rivers and waterways clean and free of aquatic nuisance species; but they also help you stay safe in the water.
