    Hi Nick, you know the old story, not much has changed...If the boot has exposed stitching on the uppers, its going to fray and split in a few stream outings. The less exposed stitching, the better. Its not really about Simms.

    Thanks, I was being a bit tongue in cheek, my visions split in the middle of the sole if you can believe that almost like they had ben slit with a knife, both of them as well, not even by the stitching........bloody frustrating... So what's the cheapest pair with no stitching? that are not wellie boots

    Have you tried the Vision agents? perhaps they will replace them.
    Regards the "cheapest", I have no idea, I went the other route, which was, to buy the best, so I bought the Simms guides, which are awesome, but they cost a fortune. Luckilly I bought them about 6 years ago.

    If you want cheap, cheerful, effective and indestructible, grab a pair of Security/military Boots, like police boots..but of course in Olive/Brown rather than blue... these are incredibly effective, cheap and last longer than pretty much anything else out there... Spend some extra bucks on the Simms Wet Wading Socks, and you set...

    You might not have the "cool crew" wanting to fish with you because you not wearing Simms/Visions or whatever, but your boots will probably outlast theirs by a year or two... and at least you're wearing Simms socks...
