Members BigTree Posted August 29, 2010 Members Posted August 29, 2010 I am looking into getting back into fly fishing and I seemed to have misplaced my waders. I can't remember what brand they were, it has been about 6 years since I last went. (Yes I am ashamed) I do remember that bootfit waders do tend to run a little bigger in the foot than actual wading boots. Anyways, my predicament is that I am 6'7", 300 lbs, and where a size 17 shoe. I have been looking around for the past couple of weeks. I was just wondering if anyone here could help me out.
eric1978 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 size 17 shoe Wow! You gots some clown feet brother! I think most high-end brands carry sizes that could accommodate you. I'm pretty sure Simms makes waders in your size, but you might have to buy a more expensive model to find the special sizes. I had to spend more than I wanted because I couldn't find a Med Short in the cheaper lines. I would suggest going for stockingfoot and finding boots that fit you well...buying bootfoot waders is just going to make it that much harder to find a pair that is comfortable from shoulders to toes. Good luck big boy.

Good luck big boy. Double Wow. I'm 6'4" and 230 lbs. I thought I had it rough finding stuff that fits!! But I do have a friend that is about your size and he has a pair of XXL Simms Freestones that seem to fit him pretty well. Size 17 wading shoes? I don't know. I wear a 14 and I had a little trouble finding those. Most lines only go up to 13 with a very few going up to 14. Not sure if anyone makes a 17. I would check with a fly shop. I would bet if you called Simms they would custom make you some. They do custom sizing on waders I know. It would probably be fairly costly though (custom built shoes). Good luck.
