Simms Zipit Flats Bootie Light enough to forget. Tough enough to fish. The bootie for warm water and flats. The Simms Zipit Flats Bootie is the answer when a full wading boot is overkill but you still need real protection from sand, rocks, coral, and the occasional sea urchin. Built on a puncture-proof vulcanized rubber sole with a perforated neoprene upper that drains in seconds and a YKK corrosion-resistant zipper that makes them easy to get on and off wet feet, the Zipit is purpose-built for tropical flats and warm-water wet wading. Key Features Vulcanized rubber sole resists rocks, coral, sea urchins, and broken shell Perforated neoprene uppers drain water in seconds YKK locking corrosion-resistant zipper for easy on and off Lightweight enough for all-day wet wading without leg fatigue Built for flats fishing — South County to South Andros Specs Sole Vulcanized rubber, puncture-resistant Upper Perforated neoprene Closure YKK corrosion-resistant locking zipper Sizes 8 through 14 Best For Tropical flats, warm-water wet wading Sizing & Care Order true to your normal shoe size Rinse in fresh water after saltwater use to extend zipper life Dry inside-out to keep the neoprene from holding moisture Pair with wet wading socks for added comfort on long days Why We Like It For South County wet wading in the summer or chasing bonefish on South Andros flats, this is the right tool. Stiff full wading boots punish your feet on a hot flat. Pure neoprene socks don't protect you from sharp coral or shells. The Zipit splits the difference — actual protection in a light, drainable, fast-on-and-off package.
