Simms' G3 Guide™ Boot has blazed more miles than any other wading boot in existence-and it's just warming up. Advancements to this year's incarnation include the guide-approved performance of a RiverTread™ platform featuring proprioception, which minimizes rigid underfoot materials for enhanced feel whether on the trail or in the water. Vibram® Idrogrip outsoles add to this great-grip equation thanks to multi-directional lugs-compatible with all HardBite Star Cleat™, Simms' AlumiBite™ and HardBite™ cleats and studs.
The Hardbite Star Cleat™ + Vibram tread = Spider Man like traction. Here on the OP we've personally used these Hardbite star cleats and are our favorite for multi-terrain properties. Be it the middle of winter over large slime covered rocks, hiking through the dense Olympic Peninsula jungle or over wet slimy logs jams on the river bank. In the summer they cut through thick, green goo covered rocks gaining much needed traction. These Studs bit into and grip to it all adding a level of confidence and safety that supersedes all others.
Additional features include a TPU molded heel clip for a positive, locked-in fit, as well as neoprene internals that deliver cushioning where it counts for superior wading warmth, comfort, and easy on/off activation.
Features

For Fit: To allow proper room for the neoprene stockingfoot, you will typically want one size up from your normal shoe size for men and one size down for women (ie: a man USA size 8 would want a men's boot size 9, a women's USA size 8 would take a men's boot size 7, and a Youth Size 4 will be a Boot size 5).
