Here are some general guidelines for selecting what's best for your wading needs:

  • Cleats offer a larger surface area for overall slip resistance and are suitable for Vibram or rubber outsoles. Simms offers Alumabite (softer, molds better) and Hardbite (carbide construction, more durable with textured overlays for penetration) cleats.
  • Studs are recommended for slippery moss, algae, or slime as they penetrate the material to grip the substrate beneath. They are also the only option for felt outsoles. Simms provides studs specific to rubber/Vibram and felt outsoles.

Another great product;

"Like every single item I have taken in from the Simms Company over the past 17 years the Hard Bites are fantastic. I use them in conjunction with the Aluminum Star Cleats on my G3 boots. The addition of hard bites sticks me to the rocks like glue. Whether the Clearwater, the rocky swift waters of the Olympic Peninsula or anywhere here in Alaska I trust my life to the Simms cleat and stud systems. Ard Stetts satisfied Simms customer and 64 years on the waters."

Ard S. (5/5)

Haven’t used yet

"Need some instructions or video examples for mounting these. Ive never used these before and only found information on mounting the larger cleats but not for mounting only studs."

Joseph M. (5/5)

Stud replacement

"Easily screw in my G3 boots. Usually last a year or so before needing repaced. Excellent product"

THOMAS H. (5/5)

A necessary addition to vibram sole wading boots

"These add some needed bite to vibram soled wading boots. When installed properly they easily provide a full season of hard use."

Ron H. (5/5)

Studs

"Your Studs kept my Traction unbeatable walking across a small River 2 feet deep going 15 mph. Your products shine on always Thank you Simms. Mark Vandehey."

Mark V. (5/5)

"Excellent"

Carlos (5/5)

Studs

"Put them in the new boat and they are working great."

Robert W. (4/5)

Studs

"The best studs I've used yet. They stay on and last for the entire season. I guide all wade trips so always walking. They seem to be a harder metal carbide than other brands I have used in the past. I pre-drilled the holes in boots which allowed for easier installation. I have been using these for year's. Thanks for great product. I also have a few felt soled boots that still have all the studs in them also."

Scott L. (5/5)

Hardcore studs

"Improved traction on slippery clay. Expensive sheet metal screws. Had to use electric driver to start them as the tips are not sharp."

Gary S. (3/5)

Studs

"Sorry, unable to rate your studs, as I've not even installed them yet. May not fish again until Spring. Will be using mostly in Virginia rivers. Left size info blank, but the boots are new, size 13. Not even used yet."
