On the Field & Stream FlyTalk blog, Kirk Deeter rates the new Simms StreamTread soles as just as good as felt when it comes to grippiness. “I’d rate the grip factor at 90 percent the performance of felt, or better. Granted, I’ll want to see how they behave when the rivers get weedy in the summer, but for stability and lateral grab on the river bottom, they seemed to hold their own (and, thankfully, me).”
