Thumbs up Simms Flyweight

I have a pair of these and so far so good nice and light and provide good support scrambling around the creek banks. Not sure if they are as durable as my G4s but a whole lot lighter which is why I got them, I wanting a boot that would be better out of the water and on the rocks and trails. Not sure of what your portages are like but this boot will supply a lot better support than a barefoot shoe which are more like a water shoe and low cut below the ankle..... that said the merrell or similar would likely be more comfy in the canoe because of their lack of support. They dry out fairly quickly and are usually dry by the time I get back to the vehicle. They fit fairly true to shoe size I wear a 11.5 and bought a 12 which gives me a normal fit with a sock. I wear a heavy sock with them instead of neoprene as I wade wet when fishing creeks..... the sock stays wet longer than the boot.....hope this helps
