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).

"Simms customer support is horrible, my package got lost in the mail, they didn’t insure the shipping or offer it to me. Found the package months later and they sized me the wrong size boots, and the won’t change them out without a ridiculous exchange process. Buy another brand, simms isn’t worth the name. Good luck to all who deal with this crooked company"
