On 12/31, we ordered a pair of Simms fishing boots. Said they would ship in 5-7 business days. They charged my card on 1/1. We heard nothing! Emailed CS 1/17 and got an automated response saying "We're on it." Called retail store in TX (only phone number available) 1/19 and spoke with GM of store. Said he would call me back. Later in the day, got an email from CS saying item is currently out of stock and unavailable and issued me a refund. Ummm, I don't think this is the way things are supposed to work?

The boot is great. I own a pair and wanted another. Unfortunately, the width wasn't right. When I went to return it, it cost $58 to send back. Boot great: Backwoods return policy....awful.

Low top hiking shoes are difficult to find. A prior ankle injury requires me to only go low top.

I liked the boots but they are too small. I need a 9 wide but you don't carry them. I've contacted you by email because no one answers the phone or calls back. EXTREMELY BAD SERVICE.

Just placed my order. I noticed even with a 4$ discount on another site, the fees added more than your original price of 40$ + shipping. Hoping to enjoy the product and give 5 stars when I get to training in the snow.

The product description is just what I was looking for and the price was better than most other sites, even if they provided a sale. Y'all seem to have less added on fees.

The gift card was not applied to my purchase. I need to return boots. They need to be a 9 Wide. Your website is very difficult to maneuver and no one answers when I call.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
