I have them and they are awesome. :thumbup: Way better than other simms boots. They make you about 4 inches taller too so they're good for scaring people out of your way on the vedder. :cheers: Plus they're stylin'. They will last you longer and are more comfortable. The tongue is really innovative and w/ the neoprene inside combined w/ the gravel guard that comes w/ most simms waders they allow for no water or dirt to seep in making them stay lighter for those long days on the river bank. And they'll protect your high priced waders as well. IMO a lightweight boot that is more sturdy, well-crafted, and looks cool make them definately worth the $200+ price tag. And from my experience simms has been really good with their warranty coverage as well. I say go for it.
Simms G3 Guides Wading boot?
So I have been looking at these boots for a while. Anyone have them? How do you like and are they worth the sticker price?

Thanks Trout. Now I have to just find a way of skimming the money out of the account without her noticing!!! 
;D
;D
Fret not TroutChaser... I like all the info I can get. You are right though, I was looking for and upgrade from that level of boot. But thanks a lot to FishOrtho for his take on it as well. :cheers: That way, others new to the forum and perhaps new to fishing as well will know that there are lots of options and not just what some tackle shops are trying to sell them. Anyhow, I am real seriuos about my gear as well... I have bought and sold a lot of gear as some of you guys might have noticed. I am always looking for something new to try and if I like it, that peice stays in the arsenal. If I think that it is just a nice or good peice of gear, well....
Now I don't want to get into a long drawn out thing, so I will end it with this, the Freestones, as nice as they are, just weren't quite cutting it for me. They held up great and didn't rip or tear. Which is a first for me and boots. I was happy with them in that way. But I am having some back problems this last year and a half and I would like a bit more support if I could get it. These G3's seem to have that. Plus they are pretty smokin. So yes, I am going to get them, just don't know when I can swing it. :thumbup:
I will write my own review as well when I have worn them a couple times. ;D

So I bought the G3's yesterday and took them out for there first trip. They were a bit stiff for a little while, but they loosened up. After 6 hrs in them, I love them. Tons of support, very comfortable and some real nice features. The tounge is great, and doesn't bind up or pinch, they lace up easy and stay tight. They also look great if that sort of thing does it for ya!! :-X ;D So far they are a big :thumbup:!!
Oh yeah, and with the Simms Freestone Waders I picked up with the built in gravel guards that strap down to the laces of the boot, they were like a fortress. Nothing was getting in. Very comfortable new set-up, I was rather impressed and very happy with my new outfit!! ;D
