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 Wading Boot in the first column.

We have found that people successfully size their wading boots between their street shoe size and 1 full size larger (for men).

If you are a half size, then you should size up to the next full size. Women should size down for men's wading boots (ie: a women's USA shoe size 8 would take a men's wading boot size 7).

Here are some general guidelines for selecting what's best for your wading needs:

  • Cleats offer a larger surface area for overall slip resistance and are suitable for Vibram or rubber outsoles. Simms offers Alumabite (softer, molds better) and Hardbite (carbide construction, more durable with textured overlays for penetration) cleats.
  • Studs are recommended for slippery moss, algae, or slime as they penetrate the material to grip the substrate beneath. They are also the only option for felt outsoles. Simms provides studs specific to rubber/Vibram and felt outsoles.

"Awesome looking, feeling boots. Love the Boa system. Looking forward to getting them on the water."

josh (5/5)

These are great!

"First. . . I wear a size 12. 5 - 13 shoe, pending on the shoe. The size chart said that if I wear a 1/2 size to order the size up so I ordered the 13. My feet were literally swimming in these things. I returned and purchased the 12 and they fit perfect. People talking about the gadget thing not working or not being able to put your foot in? I don't get it. The gadget thing works great and my feet slide in and out with no issue at all. They are very comfortable as well. I'd buy these again!"

Dee C. (5/5)

Amazing and comfortable boots

"Finally broke down and got sock-in waders and boots. Can't believe I waited this long. These are solid, well constructed boots. They look great, feel great and do everything they're supposed to do. I wear a 7-1/2 shoe, and the size 8 fits fine for me. I credit these to getting a nice brown trout within 10 minutes of entering the water on my first use! JK, but they are darn nice boots!"

Keith W. (5/5)

G3 BOA

"I guide professionally on the west coast of Vancouver Island for steelhead and salmon. First impression is that are built with decent quality. Really nice for easy/quick fitment in the morning and removal at the end of the day. I have found the new vibrum sole is stiffer than older versions. Slippery on river rock more so then the older g3 vibrum versions. Will be looking to add studs. 15 days in them and my feet haven’t hurt once. BOA rachet fell off the right boot after tightening. Seems to have clipped right back into place. Was scared they had already broke but seem to be doing fine."

Curtis L. (4/5)

Love the BOA!

"Love the BOA!"

Lance P. (5/5)

Hard to put on and take off

"Tongue of boot and boa cable don't open nearly wide enough. My old boots with the cable knob in the front were much easier to use. Like all Simms products, well made, but these boots not thought out well."

Bill M. (2/5)

Great boot

"I had my last pair for over 15 years. This pair has better support and I like the offset boa. Hope I get just as many years as the last pair"

Jason E. (5/5)

"Look amazing can’t wait to try"

Ryan (5/5)

Good boot

"This boot is great for quick to put on and offers fantastic ankle support."

pat B. (5/5)

Interested

"When is this boa wading boot comming to Europa?"
