Simms has teamed with Vibram® to give you easy to clean, great-gripping rubber compound treads on our wading boots and river footwear. The exclusive Simms sole uses the Vibram® patented 360 lug that provides traction in all directions and is easy to clean. Our shoes and sandals also feature Vibram® non-marking soles.

All StreamTread™ soles can accept Simms HardBite™ Studs & Star Cleats and Simms AlumiBite™ Cleats made specifically for rubber soles. There is no right or wrong placement of the Studs & Star Cleats and they may be used in any combination to best meet the needs for the user. The combination of the removable studs/cleats and the StreamTread™ sole offers superior traction.

| "I'll admit I was a bit skeptical about these new rubber-soled boots, even if they are made by Simms, which I have always considered a solid company, and they utilize a sole from Vibram, a company with a 70-year track record of making boot bottoms. Only when I heard from two other boot testers, and got to spend some time in the river myself recently in these boots was I sold, or "soled," as it were." - Kirk Deeter, Field & Stream Fly Talk | |||
