Flyweight Wading Boot - Men's

Great boot, moderate durability.

The best boot for when you do a lot of hiking and need to be nimble. Unfortunately, the fabric lace eyelets rip out. Professionals will shred these in a year or two of service. I like them enough that I just plan on buying new ones every year or so.

Sturdy Boot with Great Traction

I spend more time on foot than in the boat so I was after a boot that would be durable and sturdy across land as much as in the water. The M's Flyweight are performing well in this regard. The sole is remarkably "sticky" so far and inspires a lot of confidence in stability. I can't imagine what they'd be like with cleats! They are a boot so they do have a bit of heft to them, but relative to other boots I have used these are pretty light.

Poor durability

For 2 seasons I really loved these boots. Lightweight, great grip w/studs & great for hiking - most places I fish require a good 2 mi+ hike (~ 50 days/yr). But then they started falling apart, eyelets broke, soles are very worn down, had to glue the sole back on in spots, etc. The durability on these boots are not that great at all for the price.

Hike in, hike out!

My daily driver especially for longer hike in tailwater fishing. I've gotten a LOT of use out of my first pair and am getting ready to re-order. Would benefit from a slightly more durable lace and eyelet combination. That's what I wore out first. Good general grip. I wet wade in these w/ just rock guards and winter fish in them as well. Bought 1 size above my standard shoe size for use with Simms 4 mil neoprene guide pant.

Awesome Boots…Very light weight and great comfort!!

The wading boot is light, yet durable. Very comfortable. My favorite wading boot hands down. I wear them about 300 days a year.

Awesome Boot!!

Awesome wading boot. Super light. Easier to hike, wade and less bulky. Great boot!!

Nice lightweight rubber-soled boot

Well made and appear as advertised. Listen to the people at Simms and size up! I wear a 10.5-11 in street shoes and hiking boots, and the size 12 Flyweights fit right with heavy socks and a neoprene-footer wader. We’ll see how durable the fabric lace loops hold up- I’ll tie an overhand knot before proceeding to the ankle lace hooks. The metal loops for the gravel guard hooks are pretty far forward, so takes a bit of stretching to clip them on. Anxious to try these without studs before deciding if adding metal is necessary.

Very satisfied

Very lightweight. Great for all day use “running and gunning” fishing.

They are easy to put on and fit very well and comfortable fishing and wading all day long.

One of the best wading boots that I have worn in 40 years. Very comfortable and lightweight. Fantastic.
