"The Simms Drifter Shoe fits the walleye angler’s lifestyle from early-morning launches to long tournament days and evenings back at the dock. It is lightweight, comfortable, and easy to slip on when you are loading the boat, checking conditions, or heading out before sunrise. The water-friendly EVA upper handles spray, rain, and wet decks without getting heavy, while the secure fit keeps the shoe comfortable when you are moving between the console, livewell, rod holders, and bow. The non-marking gum rubber outsole provides dependable traction when the deck gets slick, giving you solid footing while netting fish, setting lines, or battling rough water. Whether you are pre-fishing, competing, towing the boat across the Midwest, or relaxing after weigh-in, the Drifter is an easy, versatile shoe built for life around the water."
Love the concept not the execution
"Wanted a solid boat shoe for casting off the deck. One, it catches line on the strap. Not a factor for me on my big boat but on my drift boat and Jon boat I caught my shoe many many times. I also have the stupides sunburn of 2 little squares. Let’s go back to the drawing board. Make it a solar tech material or something, idk you guys are the geniuses not me, But it can’t be snagging and my little window sunburns on my feet are wicked red."
Comfy but needs improvement
"The Drifter has potential to make a great skiff shoe for FL. It's comfy, provides heel and arch support, and stays in place with no socks on in the heat. The problem is they are prone fly line snags on the skiff bow. The strap sticks out and the toe is designed to curl upwards leaving ample room for fly line to get wedged under it. Fly fishing shoes should be flat and flush with the deck. With proper line mgmt it's possible to get by but they could be better."

"Great over waders bought 1 size bigger"
Kinda funny looking but very comfortable and functional
"I just spent a week with these on a drift boat, and they were great. Great in the boat, and when I had get out of the boat to wade for a spooky sipper, these worked perfect. Yes, some small pebbles a couple of times, but waaaay better than having too put on wading boots. Comfortable and light slip-ons around camp. And now they're my go-tos for the vegetable garden. I usually wear 11. 5, ordered 11s and they're perfect. They are wide but didn't bother me a bit. I have only worn them barefoot."
Best on boat traction shoe out there
"These are awesome boat shoes. I've used them on wet glass boats and aluminium and they are excellent. Nice and cool like crocs, but superior traction. Easy on and off. The buckle will catch line, but that can't be helped and worth it for such good boat footware."
Summer Do It All Shoe
"Purchased these to keep in the truck for wet wading and the boat. Perfect water shoes. I like the heel support as opposed to the strap on other models of shoes like these."
