Simms Rivershed Felt-Free Wading Boots Reviewed

Yesterday Tony Bishop of New Zealand’s Bish On Fish blog gave his personal take on Simms’s new Rivershed wading boots. Bishop, who bought the boots and wore them for a full week of fishing, says the boots are “85% good.” “On ‘clean boulders and rocks’ the grip was solid. On slime covered rocks not quite as good, you have to be ready for the occasional boot slip. I had cheated a bit – I placed 9 studs around the edges of the sole. (Don’t put studs in the centre of the sole, it stops the sole from ‘sticking’.)”
