adams Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I've worn Simms (Freestones and Guide) boots for decades, but lately they seem to be making them all for extra wide feet (3W width) and my regular width feet slip around inside them (even with the neoprene booty). I could wear a couple pairs of extra socks, but that's not a great option on a hot summer's day. Does anyone have a recommendation for good wading boots that are narrower (regular) width? I don't have any good fly shops close by to shop around, so I tend to have my wife pick me up a pair when she travels to Calgary.

screaminreel Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I am in the same boat as you. I've stuck to buying good used boots and just re felt them. I have not found a single quality boot for a narrow foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adams Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Do you re-felt them yourself or is there a service like a shoe shop somewhere that does this? Thanks Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcubed Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Have you tried Orvis or Patagonia? They always seemed less wide then the simms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adams Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 No, only ever had Simms or Chota. Also tried Redington and they were even wider. I'll look into Orvis and Patagonia. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverDoctor Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Switched to Chota's a couple of years ago. My feet have thanked me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgib01 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Not the Patagonia Ultralights then. I have super wide feet (often can't find shoes or boots to fit unless they are 4E), and these ones actually fit me pretty well. I had an older version of the Rock Grip a few years back, and they were narrower, so I had to size up a couple to get em to fit. Maybe the Foot Tractors fit differently than the Ultralights... I've never tried 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
