A very popular seller for overall comfort, durability, and longevity through many seasons.

To allow proper room for the neoprene stockingfoot, find your regular shoe size in the right-hand columns and order the corresponding Simms Boot in the first column. This will typically be one size up from your normal shoe size for men and one size down for women (ie: a women's USA size 8 would take a men's boot size 7).
(Simms Boot size 5 will fit a Youth Size 4, etc.)

These are a wonderful product for the money. Well made, and get the job done. There are certainly boots that are higher quality out there, but you wont be disappointed with these.

These boots are a huge upgrade from my previous pair. Good support. Pre-marked spots for installing studs and/or cleats. Boots feel solid and durable. Just what you would expect from Simms. I wear an 8 ½ EE size shoe and the size 9 boot is a perfect fit for me. The one improvement I would suggest would be to install a D-ring on the outer tongue of the boots for the gravel guards of the waders to hook on to. My wife’s Orvis boots have this and it really helps save wear on the laces that comes from from hooking the gravel guards to those.

Great boots, put a lot of wear both in and hiking to the stream in these guys. I use a pair of Simms waders for cool/cold weather and wet wed with a pair of Korkers in the summer. Only received four stars because I'm an 11 1/2 and had to buy a size up - meaning I've got some extra room, especially when wet wading. Would highly recommend buying studs along with these boots too. Might as well get everything in one swoop instead of slipping into a creek and then realizing you should buy studs...

A nice entry level boot. I wore mine for over a year and they held up just fine. Biggest issue I have with them is that the soles don't have much traction on slick surfaces (without studs).
I just recently upgrade to the G3 boots and once I have some more stream time, I will provide a review on them.

Just got these and have used them wading in a cold Oregon river with larger smooth round rocks. Was difficult to get good footing and I need to install cleats! They are really comfortable and my feet stayed warm and dry. Also used in my float tube with waders. After a few hours of constant paddling, I could feel a little rubbing above my heel but hope it’s just new boots that need to be broken in. I used reel points on my purchase so hard to complain when I got them for such a great price!
I wear size 10 shoe, purchased these in size 11 and the fit is good with Caddis brand neoprene stocking foot waders.

The grip by these wading shoes is surprisingly good. They dries fast as well. The inner sole is glued and you do not need to take it out for washing. The materials used tend to tear (sole) or crack (ankle) after uses for a year or so.
