Our 2009 boots feature CleanStream™ technology to help prevent mud snails and other Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) from hitching a ride on your boots. By using less “ride-friendly” fabrics and easy-to-clean footwear, we want to do our part in the fight against spreading Aquatic Nuisance Species. The G4 and G3 Guide™ Boots feature the widest outsole for extreme wading conditions. Our Guide and Rivershed ™ Boots provide outstanding support in a hiking boot style. The Freestone ® and Blackfoot ™ Boots offer durable options for anglers just entering the sport or on a limited budget. Our Headwaters™ Boot is the lightest boot in the line – great for travel or all day wading.

ECO-CONSCIOUS DESIGN FOR RESPONSIBLE ANGLERS Invasive species such as mud snails and didymo have become a growing threat to the health of trout populations and aquatic ecosystems throughout the world. And, unfortunately, anglers have played a part in the spread, unintentionally transporting them among different watersheds on their wading boots and other fishing gear. The problem is now well-known in the fishing community and at Simms, we’ve taken the matter to heart. That’s why we’ve introduced our new CleanStream™ design. CleanStream™ is a design philosophy that runs through our line of wading boots. It doesn’t refer to any specific product or feature. Rather, it describes a combination of features we employ to assist anglers in doing their part to prevent the spread of invasive species. Products with our CleanStream™ design feature materials that are more resistant to “hitchhiking” organisms and have less exposed stitching, fewer ridges and pockets that could potentially hide stowaways. In addition to making fishing gear easier to clean, Simms encourages all anglers to inspect and clean their gear after every outing to help prevent the spread of ANS.
