SIMMS HardBite™ Star Cleats (10-Pack)
SIMMS HardBite™ Star Cleats are premium carbide traction cleats engineered specifically for SIMMS wading boots with Vibram® rubber outsoles. Built for maximum stability in demanding wading conditions, they deliver exceptional grip on slippery rocks, moss-covered riverbeds and uneven underwater terrain where secure footing is essential.
Each star-shaped cleat features tungsten carbide chips welded to every arm, providing aggressive traction and outstanding durability. Unlike softer aluminum cleats, the carbide edges bite into slippery surfaces for superior grip in challenging conditions. HardBite™ Star Cleats fit the predefined mounting locations on SIMMS RiverTread®, StreamTread™ and VaporTread™ outsole platforms and can be used alone or combined with SIMMS HardBite™ Studs for even greater traction.
Each pack contains 10 replaceable cleats, giving anglers a reliable solution for maintaining secure footing throughout the life of their boots. When strong currents and unseen river bottoms demand complete confidence, HardBite™ helps keep every step stable and controlled.

Why Choose HardBite™?
While SIMMS AlumiBite™ Cleats conform to smooth rock surfaces for increased contact, HardBite™ Star Cleats rely on ultra-hard tungsten carbide tips that penetrate slippery textures for aggressive, long-lasting grip. They are the preferred choice for anglers who regularly fish moss-covered rocks, uneven riverbeds and demanding wading environments where maximum durability and traction are essential.
