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!

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.

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 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!

Simms quality comes through in all their products. If it ain’t Simms, I don’t wear it. Thanks again for a great boot at a fair price point.

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.

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.

Love these boots, lightweight and durable. Easy to get on and off, what more do you need?!

These feel like you are locked in. Quite comfortable to walk miles and good durable traction.

Wore these in Maine fishing for a couple of days then 6 days straight in Alaska. Great fit, support, and traction (without cleats). A definite winner!

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!

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.

First time using stocking foot waders and boots. Extra ankle support made for a great time stomping northern Michigan rivers In snow.

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.
