Great boots, pity about the Vibram

The latest Freestone is a significantly better boot than the old one, which I have fished for the past 5 years. However the Vibram sole does not live up to its reputation - not even close. In fact, for the sort of intense wading / nymphing we do in SA, they are downright dangerous. They have very limited grip on wet rocks, and I spent considerably more time falling and sliding than I have ever done on my old felt soled Freestones. The boots, though, are a lot softer and make a lot less noise on the riverbed than their predecessors. A significantly more comfortable fit, at least for my feet. I think the felt soled Freestones will be great when they are released. Avoid these if you intend wading in anything other than the slowest shallowest water.

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.

Another Good Simms Boot

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.

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.

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

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.
