Vibram soles are not good for anything other than slack water, silt bottom streams IMO -- I don't care what the tag on the boot says or what random unpublished source they reference for "cling-on" data. They're also good if you have to walk over a lot of pavement to get to a stream so you don't sound like King Krispy (like one of the cereal box guys but blown-up 1000 times) walking around.
-- However, vibram soles with studs are the jimmy jam. I use those 98% of the time (I make sure that 2 out of every 100 times I fish I use something else just to maintain the statistic)-- only using felts when I'm in this one spot on the Jackson river where it seems to do better.

Anyone ever strip the felt off of felt wading boots and refinish with rubber? Wondering how well that would work. I scored a pair of brand new neoprene waders (felt boot foot) for my little sister at goodwill, and was thinking of doing that for her.--On Tue, Jan 28, 2014 at 10:10 AM, Eric Y. <theeri...@gmail.com> wrote:
I don't know if this counts as a commercial post, but the Goodwill on Glebe Road in Arlington had a pair of Orvis wading boots for a very reasonable price. Felt soles, but they were in very serviceable condition - perhaps even previously owned by a club member.--
