Why We Like The Simms Freestone Boot
Trudging through a river is hard work—and hard on boots—which is why we like the Simms Freestone Boot. The uppers feature a sturdy combination of waterproof synthetic leather and scratch rubber for abrasion-resistance and time-tested durability for hiking riverbanks and negotiating unseen hazards on the river bottom. The rubber outsoles give us good wet and dry traction while the partial neoprene lining insulates and cushions our feet alongside the soft, EVA foam midsoles. We can wear these boots with any stockingfoot-style waders or pair them with the Simms Freestone Stockingfoot Waders for a perfectly matched set.

Go to wading boots
They are so solid for the price. All year long they still perform even in mossy or rocky areas.

Not as good as waders
I used them for 2 seasons, 7 days each, and they came off from the tip. This is the second time it's happened to me.

Good first impressions
I have only been out a hand full of times with these. Bought them cause my last pair of free stones last 4 years but they were definitely done after 4 years. These seem lighter than my last pair but these do seem to have a different material so only time will tell at this point.

Very comfy - run wide.
Comfy but run very wide. We shall see how they hold up.

Freestone Boots
Awesome boots, they've been great for long walks and have really good tread so I'm not slipping on wet rocks.

Great investment and comfortable.
I’m pleased with both the ankle and arch support these boots have. They are a huge upgrade from my previous boots from another manufacturer.

Worth every penny
Light and comfortable, this is a sturdy wading boot that I'm going to get many miles out of and I would recommend them to anyone who is serious about their gear.

great support!
nice solid boot, if you have stability or ankle issues and looking for a taller more stable boot for a reasonable price... look no further.

Very good boot
This is a really great boot. I have used it for both wet wading and wader wading and the boots performed flawlessly. They are very comfortable and provide really good support. I highly recommend them.
