    Excellent Wade Boot

    Good construction and comfortable. I've worn twice so far and very pleased.

    Good Boots

    Paired perfectly with the waders. Comfortable to hike upstream

    Dangerous To Use Without Studs

    These are potentially a great boot. The build quality is great. I used them a couple of days hiking into Bear Trap Canyon and they are quite comfortable offering great support on the trail. The problem comes when you get in the water. Madison River rocks aren’t really slick by my standards. I used a pair of a competitor boots for the 5 days before I got these and had no issues with slipping. The compound that Simms used in the rubber is clearly not acceptable for wading. Unless you plan to use studs, stay well clear of these unfortunately.

    Poor Durability

    Purchased this boot 2 years ago. I’ve worn them extensively. Falling apart at present.

    Wade Boots

    I know these boots were not made for Salt water but have held up well considering the conditions. Great book for the price. .

    Surffishing ?

    What about salt water? Can I wear these well, Surf fishing as long as I cleaned them afterwards

    Nice Boot But. . .

    I have used this felt sole boot the past 3 years and they been wonderful and durable as I fish 2x/month year round. I mistakenly ordered the rubber sole this time. I have used them one day and I fell once in the river and almost 2 additional times. The last time I fell in river was maybe 5 years ago, its rare. The rubber soles have to be liability for Simms and the only way I can now to try and make these boots safe are to add the screw in studs. Fingers crossed and beware of the rubber soles.

    Great Wading Boot

    I give these 5 stars as I have put somewhere around 300 days or more fishing my first pair of these and have put 20 or so on a second because the sole cracked on the first. I fish the Rio Grande in New Mexico several days a year crawling on the volcanic rock, boulders, cactus, sage and they have held up to it. I have tortured these boots and they held as long as any other guides much more expensive boots. I only wish I could get them with about a 3rd the volume as I have a size 13 B foot and have to fill lots of space with wading socks. Even still I bought a second pair.

    Fit Great. Dont Drain Super

    Fit great. Dont drain super well but after a bit of hiking its ok.

    Great Boots

    Excellent books. Rugged enough but lighter than expected. I need to put studs in them for maximum traction. Would definitely recommend and buy again.

    Good Buy

    A good fit and comfortable.The rubber sole is different than a felt sole.It took some getting used to on slippery river rocks but was fine overall.

    Simple, Solid Boot For A Reasonable Price.

    The boot is fairly lightweight and rugged. Very simple boot without much to it. Fits true to size and is able to lace up securely. Not as stiff as most other wading boots. I like that it has the metal rivets along the eyelights for the laces. These boots appear as if they were made to last. I would recommend this boot to others. It was a tad bulkier than what it appears in the picture, but not excessively so. Fits well with a lot of good support. Easy to walk in for a long day of fishing.

    Received incentive

    Great Product

    Great boot. I wear a size 9 boot and the size 11 wader boot fit me perfectly. They recommended size 10 but was too tight. Very comfortable.

    P. Devine

    Fit great easy to get on and off. I have mobility and flexibility issues and was able to tie them with no difficulty. Wore them for 7 hrs in 44 Degree water my feet were warm all day long. I need a cane to walk and these bots gave me an added to my ability to wade in more rocket water.
