- Product Care
Footwear Care:
For proper cleaning of your footwear to descrease the likelihood of spreading Aquatic Invasive Species, please reference our CleanStream™ page.
If using in saltwater always clean and rinse to prevent corrosion.
Use a brush to remove dust and dirt. Choose an old vegetable brush or toothbrush. For maximum thoroughness, remove laces prior to cleaning. Use specialized boot cleaner, saddle soap or maybe a mild dishwashing soap with luke-warm water.
Do not use bar soap or detergents.
Do not place wet boots close to a heat source (fireplace, campfire, wood stove, radiator, heater, sunny windowsill) as this can weaken adhesives and cause materials to become brittle or shrink.
Dry using natural methods (air dry) and try to keep them out of the sun for long periods of time. Boots dry faster when positioned upside-down. If desired, stuff a sheet or two of newspaper into each boot to absorb moisture. Change the paper each hour.
If you see any mold on your boots, brush in a mixture of 80% water and 20% vinegar.
Over time the use of leather conditioners may provide increased water repellency and can prevent cracking and drying of the leather.
Store footwear in a place where temperatures are stable and normal. Do not store footwear in attics, garages, car trunks or any unventilated spaces.
Never put footwear in washing machine.

CleanStream™ is a design philosophy that runs through our line of wading footwear. While not specific to a product feature, this designation does indicate that the product includes features and/or materials that are more resistant to "hitch-hiking" organisms – have less exposed stitching, fewer ridges & pockets and utilize non-absorbent materials – all making the boots easier to inspect, clean and dry faster. All of these elements assist anglers in doing their part to prevent the spread of invasive species. For more information, please visit our CleanStream™ page or these organizations: www.cleanangling.org, www.protectyourwaters.net or www.tu.org.

The StreamTread™ sole featuring Vibram® technology is exclusive to Simms. Co-developed with Vibram®, the leader in sole technology, StreamTread™ provides two distinct advantages compared to other soles. One is a patented 360-degree lug pattern that cuts through moss and mud. The second is a proprietary mix of rubber compounds that offer super grippy traction, are extremely easy to clean and ensure that the boots don’t collect a lot of debris.

- Great Boots Review by Nevy
-
Overall These boots rock. I recently blew out a pair of compeditors boots after only 3 days fishing. When I returned them to my local store the manager informed me that I should have bought Simms from the beginning. I paid a few extra dollars and am now the proud owner of the Rivershed boot and couldn't be happier. They were comfortable from the first outing and I feel that the streamtread grip is fantastic.(Posted on 7/16/12)
- new boots Review by max

Overall great boots, I use them climbing scottish hills to get to and from river yet they have amazing grip in the river, superior to felt. they are lighter when wet, they dont freeze, great grip on mud, snow and gravel. I have also used them in AK and they were great in and out of the boats(Posted on 7/16/12)

Overall Purchased these boots as a replacement for felt bottoms. The vibram soles hold well on slippery rocks. Would not have known that the boot bottoms were not felt. Comfortable walking as well.(Posted on 7/16/12)

Overall All i can say is what a great product. Lightweight, durable, high ankle support, this boot has everything you want for a great price. Best value in a wading boot in my opinion.(Posted on 7/16/12)
- Great Boot. Review by Kingfisher
-
Overall This is boot has everything in a boot I'm looking for. Lightweight, durable and very comfortable. Easy entry and even easier removal. The lace system responds well when a better feel is required for tricky river crossings. Adding and removing studs is easy and fast. Great design.(Posted on 7/16/12)
- Great Boot Review by Chris
-
Overall This was my first pair of boots without felt and I am very happy how they handled this last season. Long walks back to the truck are no problem becasue they almost resemble a good pair of hiking boots on dry land. In the water the boots allow me to scramble to net fish and I will be buying another pair if mine ever wear out.(Posted on 7/16/12)

- Best Wading Boot I've Worn Review by Ron
-
Overall Alaska is prohibiting the use of felt at the end of this year and that was the impetus for me to find a new model. I was reluctant to buy these as I have always favored lighter weight wading boots. Over the years I have owned and worn numerous other models. After 60-70 days of use this year I can honestly say they are the best wading boot I've worn. Very comfortable, with good support and cushioning, I often hike long distances and the weight is a non factor. In rocky rivers I use in combination with the star bite cleats and get real good grip. I could probably wear my street shoe size but I prefer to upsize for a little more room and extra sock space.(Posted on 7/16/12)
- Simms Best Boot Review by Dave
-
Overall This is one great boot! After a summer of fishing/guiding in Alaska, the boots are still in great shape. As for fitting, they fit to size so buy them in the size you normally wear. The streamtread is OK but nothing will compare to felt. Add the starbite cleates and you will have better traction than felt. The streamtread does wear better than felt and out of water on muddy banks they work much better.(Posted on 7/16/12)
- Pro Team Member Review by Roger
-
Overall After wearing felt for 40 years I was skeptical about anything else. As a guide I cannot afford to be falling in the river. I was pleasantly surprised with the sole of the boot. It's not felt, but the traction surprised me. Wear of the tread is quicker than that of felt, but I'm not sure it will ever be able to be helped do to the nature of the material.(Posted on 7/16/12)
