Simms Freestone Wading Boots

A classic Simms® design, revamped for a cleaner environment, these boots offer an even more sturdier footprint, in the harshest or currents. With added designs to put a stop to invasive species, traveling with you as you fish from spot to spot, these rubber soled boots, (much like the felt bottomed boots), still have solid grip. Lightweight, and solid in structure, these boots offer alternate resiliency to wading waters. With the embedded stitches, and fewer hiding places, you can keep your favorite watering hole clean and healthy, the way it's supposed to be.

Product Clean & Care: For proper cleaning of your footwear to decreases the likelihood of spreading Aquatic Invasive Species Please follow proper cleaning protocols

• If using in saltwater always clean and rinse to prevent corrosion
• Use a brush to remove dust and dirt. Choose an old vegetable brush or toothbrush. For maximum thoroughness, remove laces prior to cleaning. Use specialized boot cleaner, saddle soap or maybe a mild dishwashing soap with luke-warm water
• Do not use bar soap or detergents
• 
  

  Do not place wet boots close to a heat source (fireplace, campfire, wood stove, radiator, heater, sunny windowsill) as this can weaken adhesives and cause materials to become brittle or shrink

Dry using natural methods (air dry) and try to keep them out of the sun for long periods of time. Boots dry faster when positioned upside-down. If desired, stuff a sheet or two of newspaper into each boot to absorb moisture. Change the paper each hour

If you see any mold on your boots, brush in a mixture of 80% water and 20% vinegar

Over time the use of leather conditioners may provide increased water repellency and can prevent cracking and drying of the leather

Store footwear in a place where temperatures are stable and normal. Do not store footwear in attics, garages, car trunks or any unventilated spaces

Never put footwear in washing machine
