I have just worn out my second pair of Simms Flats Boots in 2 years. The first pair were replaced by Simms after the toe blew out within 12 months. I only had to pay postage and Simms were very good to deal with on this issue. My 2nd pair just completely blew out in just over 12 months in the same way and same place. The integrity of the front of the boot does not last if you wade coral rubble flats regularly. I will now try the sneakers, which should be not as robust but in fact seem a lot tougher from what I see and hear.

I have been using the Flats Boots for over a year now and love the comfort and durability. They are by far the the best coastal wading boots I have ever owned, and I wouldn't wear anything else. Thanks for making a great boot!

As a huge fan of the old Simms Flats Sneakers which saw me well for 6 years of hellish treatment, from the flats of the Seychelles outer Atolls, to fishing the surf zones of the entire South African coastline, and even doubling up for trekking into mountain streams, when I saw these new Boots, I immediately placed an order... got to say I've been thuroughly dissapointed... awesomely comfortable, with great support etc, but shockingly poorly made... first time I wore them, the sole started peeling off on both the toe ends of the boots... the uppers are wearing through, and the soles are damaged already, way more than my 6 year old Sneakers.... it seems these boots won't last more than 5 trips.... even 1 trip because I've had to reglue the soles in the front... Very dissapointing to be honest as I sang the Sneakers praises to all and sundry... would not recommend these unfortunately, as cool as they look and feel, and are comfortable, the build quality is shocking, and certainly not what I'd expect from Simms, as every otherSimms product I've had has been flawless.. Sorry guys, these Boots are a dud... fix the sole, more like the Sneakers which are stiched... the glue on the Boots is a joke... Sorry...

great product.very comfortable and added protection to boot. i highly recommend it.

this boot is great.very comfortable.not to mention the added safety.i highly reccommend it.

Hardcore bad to the bone, go anywhere, do anything, invincible fish hunting machines. Barrier reefs, lava rock, stingrays & scorpion fish are all conquered. Awesome high ankle support and worry free soles.
