WARNING: This is not a very technical review.
Simms launched their line of Gore-Tex footwear this year, and we’ve been spending a lot of time since wandering around fishy places in their Harbor Shoes
. Are they revolutionary, containing some incredible new fishing technology not present in shoes made by ‘actual shoe companies’? Nope.
We like them nonetheless! Here’s why.
- They’re really comfortable, especially if you have wide feet. The footbed is really accommodating, and the width also gives room for thicker socks.
- They’re well-vented so they breathe. All those little holes in the side keep them from turning into foot saunas on the airplane.
- Our feet never got wet. We tromped through lots of puddles in Alaska and the whole Gore-Tex program worked just peachy.
- We think they look pretty cool. We just do.
- We’d rather get our shoes from Simms than from some gigantic shoe company. We just would!

Does Keen make those for Simms?
I don’t think so Beau, but I’ll double-check.
Confirmed, Beau – those shoes are not made by Keen.
I just got the same pair. Ordered them on line mostly due to the looks of them. I like the fit, but id you notice that the colors dont match what’s shown in the web-photos? Lining is actually black, not Simms burnt orange. the leather trim isn’t green (like the toe and heal) and the stitching is not a contrsting color. Kinda disappointed in that. I feel like I got duped. Check it out.
Hi Scott, thanks for stopping by. My pair of shoes is the ones pictured above, and you’re right that the colors scheme is a little different from whats shown on the Simms web site. I hadn’t noticed that!
