You should also do weight comparisons when wet, just to see how much extra weight you putting on your feet when you exit river and hiking to next spot

when I went to get boots in my local fly shop, they gave me fly weight size 12 and I am glad they did that, I am not using them that much, but they were in and out water for four years and they are nice and sharp like first day.

Had the Orvis lightweight Botha now for 2 seasons. Down under in Australia. Love the boots. Sturdy and lightweight in all conditions. Also good fir stepping on the red belly black snakes we have here in the warmer months. The Orvis lightweight boots, safely allow you to position your foot on the back of the deadly snakes head before making a quick get away. Disclaimer: snake recovers moments after being stunned. So no animals are injured or destroyed in the process. In summary, the Orvis lightweight boot is ideal for our tough and dangerous conditioned Down Under.

Since the Orvis boot is $7/ounce and the Simms boot is about $9.50/ounce doesn't that make the Orvis boot a better deal?

Thanks for the video. One thing I haven't seen mentioned in regard to wading boots is the quality of the insole. In any other pursuit the support provided by the insole is a big topic, often resulting in custom orthotics/insoles being put in. given that we're on our feet all day I'm not sure why the same consideration isn't given for wading boots. Maybe it's because the effect of the insole is negated by the bootfoot wader. In any case, I just got a pair of the Ultralights and not surprisingly these things have 0 support in the insole. Do you have any recommendations for putting in an after market insole?

I have the same type of foot and finding anything that works is a ...... I'm having success with Simms Guide three boots and Freestone waders. They have become much more comfortable as I have worn them over time. Nothing else came close unless I was 2 - 3 sizes too big. Good luck. My boots have felt bottoms. If they are legal where you fish, get the felt. They stick unbelievably well. I have walked close to 50 miles in them and they are still great. They are even better in the snow and on slippy clay than my rubber soled boots were. Good luck.

Dizzy_Arsenal I have a medium wide foot. Ordered orvis size 11&12, both too slim. Returned them to store and tried on 13, still not wide enough. The Simms size 12 fit the best, Used them two days fit and grip were fine without studs, grip studs are next.
