Why I bought another pair of Simms G3 Guide wading boots

In this video I look at wading boots. I just replaced my 6 year old, Simms G3 Guide boots with a new pair of Simms G3 Guide boots & here I explain the reasons behind that decision.
At the time of publishing, Simms have just released an updated version of this boot. The pair that I bought is now widely available for reduced prices whilst stocks last.

Great review James... I have been researching wading boots for a while now and pulled the trigger on a pair of G3`s guide, liked how sturdy and the quality feel of this boot I think they will be perfect for the Arsh environment up here in northern British Colombia Canada glad I ran into your review someone that actually purchased a second pair of G3`s..thanks in advance... keep up the good work.

Many thanks for your comment! BC is a beautiful part of the world... I'd love to get back there someday for some fishing adventures. Enjoy your fishing & I'm sure the boots will serve you well 👍

Are they waterproof? Or do they have drain holes? I wanted to use them as both hiking and wading boots

[@jameslisteroutdoors]

They have drain holes, so are definitely not waterproof. They are very comfortable for hiking in if wearing waders or neoprene wading socks, but are no substitute for proper hiking boots. Another point to consider is that wading boots should be a size larger than your regular footwear to give space for thick socks & waders. With only regular socks, the wading boots will be too large.
