Simms G3 Guide BOA Wading Boot

Simms G3 Guide™ BOA® Wading Boot — Guide-Grade Support, Dialed Fit, Maximum Stability

For anglers who wade hard, fish long, and demand dependable footing in every step, the Simms G3 Guide™ BOA® Wading Boot is built as the grippy, go-anywhere standard. Designed for endurance, comfort, and in-river stability, it pairs traditional work-boot construction with the precision of the BOA® Fit System—delivering a secure, micro-adjustable fit that’s fast to dial in and stays locked through miles of hiking and hours of wading.

At the core is an updated BOA® Fit System with an improved M4 dial, giving you exacting adjustability without fussing with wet laces. The upper blends high abrasion-resistant leather, synthetic woven materials, and rubber reinforcements to handle sharp rock, gravel bars, boat decks, and brush—day after day, season after season.

Underfoot, the G3 Guide BOA is built like a true workhorse. A Goodyear welt in a traditional work-boot construction adds structure, stability, and long-haul durability—plus it supports re-soling to keep your boots in service when you’ve worn the miles into them.

Choose your traction system for your waters: the Vibram® Idrogrip with Traction Lug outsole is engineered to optimize stability while walking and wading in water, while the felt option features a Simms 10mm felt outsole for classic grip on slick rock. And when conditions demand more bite, the outsole is compatible with Simms Alumibite Star Cleats and Hardbite cleats/studs, allowing you to customize traction for everything from algae-slick boulders to steep, muddy banks.
