Simms Hard Bite Studs for Vibram Sole Wading Boots and Sandals

Simms Hard Bite Studs convert Simms Vibram soled wading boots, including Simms Sandals (with Vibram Sole), to studded wading boots. They have a coated finish to help grip slick boulders and can be added or removed as your fishing destinations change throughout the season.  Simply use a 1/4" driver to screw them in for "Spider Man" like traction!!!

Wading Sandals with Studs?  A cool concept!

You can put Simms Hard Bite studs into any Vibram Soled Simms wading boot, shoe or the sandal!  This means that you can take the Simms Streamtread Sandal and turn it into a studded wading sandal within minutes.  This is a really cool feature.  You can also use these studs in your wading boots as well, they are very versatile.

Buyer's Guide for Simms Cleats and Studs for your Wading Boots

Vibram Soles

There are several options for Simms Wading Boots and cleats.  The most popular is the Simms Hard Bite Star Cleat.  This works in unison with the Vibram Streamtred Sole and fits right into the lug pattern.  The Simms Hard Bite Star Cleat  maintains a nice low profile but will provide a ton of traction once your weight compresses the sole of the boot.  The next option for Vibram sole boot owners is the Simms Alumabite Star Cleat.  These sit up a bit higher and give you a little more advanced traction.  Since aluminum is relatively soft, it delivers fantastic traction.  The downside is that they do sit up a bit higher than the Hard Bite Star Cleat so if you walk a long ways outside the river you might get tired of them! 

You can use a phillip's head screwdriver or a drill with a phillip's head attached to install either of these. All Simms Vibram Soled wading boots come with pilot holes and they are super easy to install.  The last option is the  Simms Hardbite Stud.  This is more of a traditional stud and does quite deliver the traction of the Star Cleats and is more typically reserved for adding to your Simms Wading Sandals which is a sweet concept!
