    Wading boots don't come in half sizes.

    With neoprene booties on stocking foot waders you need to go one or even two sizes larger than your street shoe size.

    I believe that these days wading boots are sized true. At least the last couple of pairs I’ve picked up. They take in account the socks and booties and you just get the same size as your street shoe.
    There are few things in life more pleasing than the sublime marriage of form and function that is found in a well crafted fly rod.

    I always go one size up to allow for my booties and socks.

    I always recommend you bring your feet, socks and waders/booties to try wading boots on.

    Old Joe Shirshac sad to never buy them tight. Loose is OK.

    From John Sherman, the Simms Rep:

    Hi Bill,

    They are sized to fit over stocking foot waders. However it’s best to go up 1/2 to 1 size for layering with heavy socks. I’m a 11.5 street shoe and I wear a size 12 Simms Boot.

    Best,
    John
