Men's Wading Boot Size Chart
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).

CleanStream™
- Product Care
Footwear Care:
For proper cleaning of your footwear to descrease the likelihood of spreading Aquatic Invasive Species, please reference our CleanStream™ page.
If using in saltwater always clean and rinse to prevent corrosion.
Use a brush to remove dust and dirt. Choose an old vegetable brush or toothbrush. For maximum thoroughness, remove laces prior to cleaning. Use specialized boot cleaner, saddle soap or maybe a mild dishwashing soap with luke-warm water.
Do not use bar soap or detergents.
Do not place wet boots close to a heat source (fireplace, campfire, wood stove, radiator, heater, sunny windowsill) as this can weaken adhesives and cause materials to become brittle or shrink.
Dry using natural methods (air dry) and try to keep them out of the sun for long periods of time. Boots dry faster when positioned upside-down. If desired, stuff a sheet or two of newspaper into each boot to absorb moisture. Change the paper each hour.
If you see any mold on your boots, brush in a mixture of 80% water and 20% vinegar.
Over time the use of leather conditioners may provide increased water repellency and can prevent cracking and drying of the leather.
Store footwear in a place where temperatures are stable and normal. Do not store footwear in attics, garages, car trunks or any unventilated spaces.
Never put footwear in washing machine.

CleanStream™ is a design philosophy that runs through our line of wading footwear. While not specific to a product feature, this designation does indicate that the product includes features and/or materials that are more resistant to "hitch-hiking" organisms – have less exposed stitching, fewer ridges & pockets and utilize non-absorbent materials – all making the boots easier to inspect, clean and dry faster. All of these elements assist anglers in doing their part to prevent the spread of invasive species. For more information, please visit our CleanStream™ page or these organizations: www.cleanangling.org, www.protectyourwaters.net or www.tu.org.

The StreamTread™ sole featuring Vibram® technology is exclusive to Simms. Co-developed with Vibram®, the leader in sole technology, StreamTread™ provides two distinct advantages compared to other soles. One is a patented 360-degree lug pattern that cuts through moss and mud. The second is a proprietary mix of rubber compounds that offer super grippy traction, are extremely easy to clean and ensure that the boots don’t collect a lot of debris.

Vibram® soles are built from the bottom up and are designed to overcome very specific obstacles on a variety of terrains. Vibram® invests heavily in research and development of products never overlooking even the most minute detail. Vibram® soles boast innovative compounds and technical sole patterns, specifically developed to meet the challenges of many different environments and applications. www.vibram.us

- Rugged/Stable Review by JT

Overall I am in these boots everyday I find them to be comfortable and stable which is key to me. I am sure footed and can put in the miles.(Posted on 7/16/12)
- Another Good Simms Boot Review by MM
-
Overall They fit securely and are ez to tie tight even when the laces are frozen while working on the local rivers in November. The only reason I give them a 4 is due to the fact that rubber soles don't match the secure footing of felt. Guiding out of fiberglass boat and rubber rafts limits my ability to use cleats.

- Love these boots Review by Reffy010
-
Overall I love these boots. This is my first pair of simms boots and i am in love with them. the vibram sole is amazing and when paired with hardbite star cleats you basically become a bug on glass. I have paired these with the simms G3 waders and they are perfect.(Posted on 7/16/12)
- Freestone Boot Review by Dean King

Overall These boots were great before Simms redesinged them last year and now they are amazing with the reinforced toe and heel very well built boots I look forward to putting mine on in the morn.I use the alumibite star cleats on mine cause by Sept and Oct the rocks on the Bow river get a bit greasey and the cleat takes this boot to the next level.We do some walk and wade trips here in Alberta where your boot realy needs to be as much of a hiking boot as a wading boot and I feel that this boot meets those demands plus its just super confortable

- Great performance and value Review by NHRiversguideGerry
-
Overall They don't call it the Granite State for nothing! Our rivers are full of big slick boulders and fast current. On top of that "Rock Snot" is showing up in our rivers. My new pair of Simms Freestone boots with StarCleats is just the ticket to keep me dry and secure and avoid spreading invasive algae. They give great support to ankles and also protection from sharp rocks. Best of all, with StarCleats, they grip the boulders and keep me from taking an unexpected dive.(Posted on 7/16/12)
