Simple question: Have you ever had to take off your boots while fishing to get the sand out with the G3's?
This year you'll be able to have the new Simms boot attached to any wader they make, from intro to top of the line.

They don't have it on their website yet but it's REAL nice boot from the Muck Boot company. $100 more to the price of a pair of stockingfoots, but, that's what a Muck Boot costs from anyone attached to a wader or otherwise.

This is pretty much the boot they'll be attaching:

L.L. Bean west branch. Best I've ever owned.Very light and cool if you have to hike the shore long distances. I primarily fish rocks in them and they held up very well this season.No corkers needed either with the felt soles. I can get them off quicker than a dress on prom night too.

This is very interesting. Last year just before I bought a another pair of waders I actually called up simms to see if they would make me a custom G3 with a boot. The women I spoke with told me they were working on something that would be out later this year (ie last year) and I would be interested in it but would not tell me anything about it. This looks to be what she was talking about.

Thanks for that heads up Pete.
