We all have our favorite wading boots, but a common consensus among guides and avid anglers alike is that the Simms Flyweight Boot takes the trophy.  A long-time favorite at Gorge Fly Shop, the Flyweight has all the features we love in a boot.  They're lightweight making for a great option when putting on some miles while fishing.  The platform is wide enough to offer excellent surface area contact with the bottom for maximum traction.  They offer plenty of ankle support, which doesn't typically correspond with lighter boots. 

Another huge bonus that isn't standard with most light wading boots is the Flyweight's high level of durability.  The combination of the rubber toe cap and woven sidewalls protects your feet and resists rock abrasions so common on the basalt-based rivers of the Northwest.  The improved lacing system takes care of unwanted rivet or lace-loop disasters on the water. 

If you're in the market for some new boots, give the Flyweights a shot.  They do not disappoint!
