From what i've been told simms makes their own stuff in the USA. For each model they make the wader like a pair of pants and then add the bootfoot or stocking foot later depending on the orders they get from retailers. Another thing to watch out for with stocking foot waders is what the sole is made out of. If it is regular neopreme it will eventually leak from the constant compression of walking. I know simms has addressed the problem and uses a special material. The old orvis clearwaters had this problem and i never knew it at the time and didnt really care because you could just bring them back and get a new pair no questions asked.
