My friends have went through this process with waders, only to receive the same pair of waders repaired, and it took 2-3 weeks.
I fish more than most and that long of a wait is just not worth it to me. I will, hands down, say that Simms waders are unbeatable when it comes to comfort, style, and reliability, however, their wading shoes don't seem to last any longer than a cheap pair of beans
I bought a pair of the cheap bean waders (60 dollars) two years ago, and called a sales rep this summer upon them sprouting some pin hole leaks near my crotch. This was 2 days before the stocked season opened, and I did not have time to wait for shipping. So, I drive to the shop in P-burgh, hand them the old ones that stunk beyond belief and were completely faded, and walked out with a brand new pair.
Since, I have turned all my Simms friends over to Bean.
Think about it... invest 60 dollars once, and for the next ten years, not care about a leak because you get a brand new pair...
...or spend 400, get a leak, and get the same pair back repaired.
Yes, I am cheap.
