Simms  Freestone Wading Boots - Men's

I have been wearing these daily since May. My shop's trips are mostly walk/wade so putting lots of miles in. Size 11 boot and a size 10 street shoe. I've had previous models of the freestones in the past and I really like these. Easy to take on and off. Stud's are still in place, sometimes I just re-tighten them and snug them up. These will definitely last this guide season and hopefully into next. I will definitely be getting a new pair for next season. Durability factor is a 5 star rating. The sole's seem to be holding up better than previous models. So far after 145 days of use I would strongly recommend Freestone boots.

Great boot. Protects your feet very well in an oyster-rich environment here on the Texas coast. Buy one size up if you plan to wear waders with them!

These boots are very well made and extremely durable. I mostly fly fish the Driftless region in Wisconsin. You have a mix of hiking, mud bottoms to creeks, & rock bottoms to creek. I had excellent footing in all conditions and they were extremely comfortable to wear all day (8hrs). My only regret is that I didn’t buy them sooner!

I finally got to use my new boots today and have to say they are very comfortable. My only complaint is that all I read was how “grippy” they are. I do not believe they are very grippy. Will definitely have to add studs to them and feel like they should have come with them. I knew they were not going to be as good as felt but thought they would be close. They are not. Still have to say they are very comfortable.

Love these boots, wear a size 10 street shoe so sized up to 11. Ive owned several pair of these and the G3 guide boots. These seem like theyll hold up pretty good. I havent put studs in yet but will be doing it soon. All my extra boots get rotated into client stock along with waders. I think these will work out good. 30+ days so far in these and no sign of wear. Easy break in period, as usual an excellent pair of wading boots.

Great pair of wading boots. I look for support for my ankles that is comfortable also without leaving pain after a 7 hour wading session. These boots fit my needs. This is my second pair. I could not wear out the first pair, but I got my moneys worth out of them. I wear thick wading socks and use them over sticking foot waders, so I go up 2 sizes from my normal size.

Hands down this has been the best wading boot I have ever had. Easy to slide into, easy to tie, and super comfortable! A little stiff but did not feel like it will take long to break in. I had heavy socks on and was able to pretty much stay in the water the entire time. It was snowing, my vehicle said it was 26 degrees outside.

In my first 3-day trail, the boots were great. Light and comfortable but supportive river wading conditions with some fast water and boulders. The felt soles instead of hard rubber soles may have been a better pairing with the hard bit star cleats for this river known to have slippery rocks and lave tubes. The boots were great.

I have been wearing Simms boot for about 10 years. I have hike through two other pairs in that time. I'm very excited for these new boots as they seem to be built better with a substantially strong toe box and sole. Excited to put these to work this summer.

These boots are comfortable, durable and grippy, and I definitely give them 5 stars. I fish them in the fresh and salt, and I also frequently hike in them. Paired with the Freestone wader they're a great combination without breaking the bank!
