Simms Wading Footwear

The right footwear depends on the terrain, season, and level of support and traction you need. Wading boots provide ankle protection and stability for uneven riverbeds, while lighter shoes and sandals are useful for wet wading, travel, and warm-weather fishing.

Consider sole type, fit, drainage, ankle support, and compatibility with studs or cleats. When wearing stockingfoot waders, choose your boot size with enough room for the neoprene booties and fishing socks without creating excessive movement.
