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!
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.

Greetings . The Sox will go well with the simms pursuit wading shoes for surf fishing the beach ?
Just bought a pair..thanks for the review. All I needed 😊
Thanks for the support!
Brian, when’s the hair tutorial coming out ?!? Love the content and the hair, keep on 🫵🏼🐟🐟
Stay tuned!
Those tan soles on the flyweights are very grippy for rubber. Almost as good as felt.
Brian seems to agree. Now in his second season with them and he loves them!

Did the wading sock gaurd help? I’m worried about gravel with any wading shoe
@@koda284 Yes, it certainly helps!
Interested in your thoughts on use on tropical flats?
Call or e-mail Brian at the shop and he'll be happy to help! Thanks!
Im Skeptical about the vibram soles. Ive owned several hiking boots with vibram soles and they are so slippery on wet rocks.
These are designed for the water…..and slippery rocks. Your hiking boots are not. 👍
@@Madriveroutfitters are you saying the vibram sole from the hiking boots are made from a different material then the vibram soles on these boots?
@@Dieiamgi Dramatically different….yes. He talks about the compound in this video.
Can you wear wading socks with them
If you oversized? Sure.
Is this OK for Saltwater??????
@@mattkoselowski-wh9vj Great for saltwater! Tons of excellent feedback from the flats.
Why would these not work for stocking foot waders as well?
You could try but not designed for that.
Hmm, thought Brian was a Korkers guy
Simms has really won him over recently! Thanks for being here.
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!
Thanks for watching!
Have fun losing your interchangeable soles in the river
How cringe are those glasses? Lol.
Well, we sure sell a boatload of them….that much we know!?!
