Wading Boot Size Chart

Use your regular street shoe size when ordering wading boots - Simms wading boots are designed to accomodate the neoprene stockingfoot of the typical wader.

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.

Men's Access wading boot

"I was looking for a light and durable wading boot that could withstand a lot of wading in the coral reefs of the French Polynesian Islands. Not only did it hold up with no wear and tear but the comfort was notable especially after wading all day. I am presently wearing them on my guided trips in the harsh saltwater of the Texas Coast and they continue to hold up well. The lightness of the boot continues to be my favorite feature. Another great feature about these boots is that they drain well and is made of quality materials."

— Ernest C. (5/5)

Comfort level 100!

"Seemingling overnight this became my go-to boot to pair with my waders this spring after the launch. Insanely light weight and beyond comfortable. They feel like a hiking book I've beat up for years straight out of the box. The new vibration technology is the real deal. Grippy, sticky, whatever you want to call it, it works!"

— Matt H. (5/5)

Flyweight max

"I love the flyweight boots from the past but extreme heavy use seemed to beat them up slightly faster than normal. At least the older version. This boot is so damn light but feels as durable as the G3 boot. Great ankle support as well. Great to see a boot that has both and not just one or the other. If you do a lot of hiking this boot really excels"

— Eric (5/5)

Access Wading Boot is Amazing

"I've been wearing the Men's Simms Access Wading Boot for nearly three months and have logged hungreds of miles and thousands of steps in them. I typically walk 6-8 miles a day while guiding and these shoes are perfect for what I do. They are light weight, durable, and well designed. They have been tested hard in Cheesman Canyon and the results have exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend the Men's Access Wading Boot!"

— Pat D. (5/5)

Simms Best Boot Yet.

"I have worn Simms boots the last 18 years from freestones to g4s. The access is by far the best wading boot they have ever made. From comfort, design, and durability the access is more than a wading boot. It’s a a vehicle to transport anglers off the beaten path. Ankle support, comfort, and grip, this boot has it all."

— James G. (5/5)

River “J’s”

"I loved the feather weight but these boots are by far superior. The old style had a lot of fraying on the upper material but simms has fixed that with the Access boot. The fit is perfect and I struggle with foot issues, this boot is by far the most comfortable wading boot I’ve ever worn."

— Gray S. (5/5)

Best and most comfortable boots on the market

"Ive been wearing these boots all winter through spring. Im in and out of a boat all season so I don't stud my boots and I'm very impressed with the grip on these boots. Im walking around big boulders and these boots are amazing on all types of river bottom. They are the most comfortable boots I've ever worm, imaging wading in a sneaker that grips, lightweight and comfortable for all day on the water."

— Mike P. (5/5)

Best lightweight boot

"I have been searching for a lightweight wade boot that still offers the support of standard Simms boots THIS IS IT . After about 10 river days I can say the new sole material works great on freestone river bottoms. Also, the awesome new lace system stays tight while lacing the boot up."

— Doug R. (5/5)

Great wading boot!

"A great boot for all my wade fishing. I guide on the Bighorn 125 days a year with this boot and the fit is great along with the durability and support."

— John S. (5/5)

Gummy center grabs well

"Per usual simms makes the new new super cool. That gummy center is fantastic for gripping the clay on the outsides of our gravel bottoms for added stealth, and less slip. Stupid light, and I like the just higher ankle for some support without going full on like the winter season stocking options… but no doubt these are a staple for wet wade applications and they are lighter then converse all stars. ."

— Tommy L. (5/5)
