How would you rate them for width? My street shoes are 10 EEEE and I've tried on my share of boots that were just too narrow.

I have a $50 Orvis coupon sitting on my desk. Don't really need a new pair of boots, but with the discount, those would be a nice x-mas gift to myself.

Foot tractors if you can stomach the upfront cost.

Yes, but they worked with Danner to redesign then last year. The leather can be reconditioned and they can be sent in to Danner be resoled if needed.

I'm on year 4 in a pair of camouflage cabela's ultralights but that's more a feature of how little I manage to get out wading than durability.

I like the Simms Freestones. The newest model design is great, a bit wider and bigger in the toe. They also fixed the upper layout and have eliminated a crack spot I also had develop in the older model. With conservative 100+ outing seasons, the Freestones are comfy and durable. At that ue rate, I get about 2 seasons before worn out or cracked. They do not feel heavy to me. Have great ankle support and are beasts when studded. They hold the first two set of studs well, then not so well. However the traction unstudded is also very good. Buy one size up from your street shoe size. I can fit two pair wading socks and wader booties when it's winter. Great product! Happy Fishing!!

Just ordered a pair of River Salt Patagonia/Danner from Mat at the Driftless Angler. Studs included, made in the U.S.A, and look a lot like my combat boots.
