The Simms Access Wading Boot is a true trail-to-river workhorse, built for anglers who cover ground before ever stepping into the water. Lightweight yet exceptionally capable, this boot blends aggressive wet-traction, durable construction, and all-day comfort into a modern wading boot designed for mobility-focused fly fishing.
Engineered by Simms Fishing Products, the Access Boot features Simms’ exclusive G.O.A.T. (Grip On Aquatic Terrain) outsole construction. A dual-compound Vibram® platform combines Vibram® IdroGrip Flex through the center of the outsole—where adaptability and feel matter most—with Vibram® IdroGrip along the edges for confident edge-to-edge stability on slick rock, algae, and uneven riverbeds. The result is industry-leading slip resistance without sacrificing comfort or hiking efficiency.
From long approach hikes to technical wading, the Access Boot is designed to move efficiently in and out of the water. A lightweight TPU woven upper prevents water absorption and eliminates wet pick-up, while reinforced overlays protect against abrasion from rocks and gravel. Inside, a high-cushion, self-draining EVA midsole delivers comfort and stability while rapidly shedding water to reduce fatigue with every step.
