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.

For Instalation help, check out our YouTube video on stud and cleat tips.

Sturdy boots

"This is my second pair, Feet got bigger so decided to get a bigger size, now I can wear thick socks inside my waders. Old pair still going strong after many years, I will use them in the Summer for wet wading. Service on my old waders was great: repaired and refreshed like new. Probably will not buy another set of waders from these guys but will surely use their service department if I need them."

Best zfor The Money!

"I have had many Simms boots, but I always fall back to the Freestone. Comfortable, tough, and just a workhorse. Recommend them to all of my clients. Also a great price for what you get. Rare these days!"

Acee (5/5)

Freestone boots

"Great boots for the price. Very durable and comfortable."

corey r. (5/5)

Freestone Wading Boots

"My first choice for a tough wading boot for clients at a great price! Folks love the comfort and easy in and out foot access!"

David H. (5/5)

Great boots

"This is the first time I’ve broken down and bought a pair of wading boots. Right out of the box, they were great. Good traction and supple enough not to produce sores or blisters. Looking forward to many years!"

phil t. (5/5)

Simms freestone boots

"Very comfortable I’ve had several pairs of simms boots and they have always held up well"

randy a. (5/5)

I didn't know Wading Boots

"I didn't know Wading Boots could be comfortable! They are easy to tie also."

MAX M. (5/5)

Unfortunately, something is very wrong

"After two pairs of Freestones served me very well, a pair bought a few weeks ago has turned out to be structurally different than previous pairs and created a deep and painful blister on the inside of my left heel. I bought the boots for a coastal steelhead trip, didn't worry about keeping my warranty/registration card because my previous purchases fit great out of the box, but now I am stuck with a pair of Freestones that are eating me up. I will never buy them again, and if you purchase them, I certainly wouldn't assume they will fit the same (or, well if your first purchase) and hold onto your warranty card. I am bummed, as previous iterations of these boots had given me a good fit, along with the toe protection and overall support I like, despite the weight penalty that comes with that sturdier structure. And, yes, I bought the same exact size I always have."

Douglas H. (1/5)

Nailed it

"Comfortable yet still rugged. Having had several pairs of Freestones over the years, these may be the best yet. Don't know exactly how much I used them but it was ton and when I recently reached for them, they still look new."

Frank G. (5/5)

Simms bots

"Bought these for wife for her B day. We spent 3 days on the river the following weekend. She loved them. Great value"
