Full details
The Simms Flyweight Neoprene Wet Wading Sock in size M is designed for anglers seeking enhanced comfort and protection during wet-wading activities, particularly when paired with the Simms Flyweight Wet Wading Shoe. Its primary benefit is the integrated gravel guard that effectively blocks debris. A potential consideration is the mid-calf height, which may not suit all wading depths or preferences.

FAQs
Are these socks meant to be worn with waders?
No, these are specifically designed for wet-wading without waders. They are intended to be worn with wading shoes.
What is the purpose of the reinforced lace hook?
The reinforced lace hook is designed to secure the gravel guard to your shoe's laces, preventing it from lifting up, especially in strong currents.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Choose the size that corresponds to your shoe size and ensure the sock fits snugly on your foot and calf before putting on your wading shoe.
Can I wear these with regular shoes?
While they can be worn with regular shoes, their design features, like the gravel guard, are optimized for wading shoes.
How durable is the nylon material?
The nylon material is selected for its durability and resistance to abrasion common in river environments.
What is the height of the sock?
The socks are mid-calf height.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel loose or slip down
Ensure the silicone print grip is clean and making direct contact with your skin. Check that your wading shoes are the correct size and fit snugly.
Gravel guard is not staying in place
Verify the reinforced lace hook is properly engaged with your shoe's laces. Ensure the gravel guard material is not obstructed or damaged.
Debris is still entering the wading shoe
Confirm the gravel guard is fully extended and sealed around the top of your wading shoe. Check for any gaps or tears in the sock material.
