Simms Rivertec Wading Boots - Felt Soles (For Men)

These boots have been fairly good to me. I have had some long treks to fishing holes and they have proved to be quite heavy and wear on my ankles, not only while walking but in the water as well. In all, I have worn them for several hours in the water and they have been a good boot to start out with. The lacing system is wonderful; easy to get on and off.

I fly and spin fish in the NC/VA mts and like the boots except that I need more ankle movement front/back & side to side. Good grip easy to lace & enter/exit - Simms makes good stuff.

I've had these for the past 2 seasons and they're the best wading boots I've ever owned. They're really quick qnd easy to put on as well as comfortable. The only downside is that they are a little heavy, but that's a testament to their stoutness.

I'm a beginning fly fisher and not a 'man', however these men's size 7 boots work well for my women's size 8 feet. My fly fishing friend says I'll never have to know the discomfort of lower quality wading boots!

Don't be worried about the width. I have average width feet, and I find these boots roomy in a good way - space enough for a couple pairs of socks without losing circulation. The fit is snug in the heel and ankle, so they feel supportive, not sloppy. I wear street shoe 8-8.5 and size 9 fits me well. The stretchy laces are surprisingly comfortable. The boot opens wide for easy on/off. The speed-lace hooks (vs. eyelets) are convenient, but can snag your line if you're in a boat or on the bank and don't have gravel guards on your waders.

Good light weight boots that work well
