Simms Access Wading Boots

The Simms Access Boot delivers the best grip we’ve ever felt in a lightweight wading boot, thanks to its dual-compound Vibram® G.O.A.T. sole that bites hard on slick river rock and uneven terrain alike.

The standout feature is the dual-compound Vibram® outsole, built with Simms’ exclusive G.O.A.T. (Grip On Aquatic Terrain) technology. Underfoot, a softer Vibram® Idrogrip Flex compound sits through the centre of the sole, delivering exceptional grip and confidence when you’re wading slick rocks or uneven riverbed. Around the outside, a tougher Vibram® Idrogrip compound adds stability and traction for bush bashing, river banks and long walk-ins. It’s genuinely the best of both worlds, and the sole is fully compatible with Simms Hardbite and Alumibite studs if you want even more bite.

Up top, the TPU woven upper keeps weight to a minimum and eliminates water pick-up, so the boots stay light even after hours in the drink. A high-cushion, self-draining EVA midsole, paired with integrated drain holes, clears water fast and keeps each step feeling balanced and comfortable. The water-friendly liner is purpose-built for wading, while durable TPU heel overlays add extra ankle support when the terrain gets rough.

Finished with corrosion-resistant brass lace hooks and eyelets for a secure, dialled-in fit, the Simms Access Boot is tough, supportive and seriously grippy where it matters most.

A true walk-everywhere, fish-anywhere wading boot—made for long days, big miles and sketchy footing.
