The waterproof synthetic leather and scratch rubber upper is designed to handle brush, rock and water, while providing support and protection through demanding wading conditions. A partial neoprene lining improves comfort and warmth around the ankle for long days in cold water.

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 size in the first column. Simms has found that people successfully size their wading boots between their street shoe size and one full size larger. If you are a half size, size up to the next full size.
Women should size down for men's wading boots. For example, a women's US 8 shoe size would take a men's wading boot size 7.

Traction Hardware Notes
- Rubber sole Freestone Wading Boots are compatible with Simms Star Cleats and studs

- Hardbite cleats use carbide construction and are more durable with textured overlays for penetration
- Studs are recommended for slippery moss, algae or slime because they penetrate the material to grip the substrate beneath
