Simms Freestone Wading Boot - Felt or Vibram Sole
Simms Freestone Wading Boots have been around for as long as most of our customers have been driving. Simms keeps making updates every couple of years and these are great boots. This is an updated version of a Simms favorite. The new Freestone offers outstanding quality and comfort at a fantastic price. These are a very durable boot and will last a long time. They offer fantastic support but don't have that "moccasin" feel of some other wading boots. For anyone that likes extra ankle and footbed support... this is probably your boot.
Best Wading Boot for the MoneyThe Simms Freesetone Boot with a felt sole is $99.95, that is shocking! This is the best wading boot for the money in our opinion and that of our customers. The Vibram sole is still a great value at $129.95, but the felt is a true "Smoking Deal" at Red's. There are some better wading boots out there, but not at this price point.

Offered in men's whole sizes 5 - 14 EEE Buyer's Guide for Simms Cleats and Studs for your Wading BootsVibram Soles  
There
are several options for Simms Wading Boots and cleats. The most
popular is the Simms Hard Bite Star Cleat. This works in unison with
the Vibram Streamtred Sole and fits right into the lug pattern. The Simms Hard Bite Star Cleat maintains a nice low profile but will provide a
ton of traction once your weight compresses the sole of the boot.
The next option for Vibram sole boot owners is the Simms Alumabite Star
Cleat. These sit up a bit higher and give you a little more advanced
traction. Since aluminum is relatively soft, it delivers fantastic
traction. The downside is that they do sit up a bit higher than the Hard Bite Star Cleat so if you walk a long ways outside the river you
might get tired of them!
You can use a phillip's head screwdriver or a
drill with a phillip's head attached to install either of these. All
Simms Vibram Soled wading boots come with pilot holes and they are super
easy to install. The last option is the Simms Hardbite Stud. This is more
of a traditional stud and does quite deliver the traction of the Star
Cleats and is more typically reserved for adding to your Simms Wading Sandals which is a sweet concept!
Felt Soles
If
you have felt soles, the choice is easy. A Simms Hard Bite Stud for
your felt sole is the way to go. You can install them with a 1/4"
screwdriver and it is super easy to do.
