Vibram Soles

[fishinwrench]

When my kid was too little to find felt sole boots for, I glued some prickly nylon trailer bunk carpeting to the bottoms of Wal-Mart hiking boots for her. They worked like a dream.

If they ever quit making felt soles I suppose I'll go that route.

Speaking of this: How is the Didymo situation on the White and Norfork doing ? (same, better, worse?) I haven't been down there for going on 3 years.

I can't see anything short of felt working on that stuff. There's some of it on Finley, just below the dam, that you have to careful on with felt soles.

Do studded felt soles work better on that stuff? Never had a pair of those myself.

Yes they do. I have a pair of studded boots, but they're hard on everything so I don't wear them unless I absolutely have too. I have never used chains, but I think that's the way to go. You can put them on or take them off at will. At one time I saw some studs that were put over boots temporarily, they would be a better option also.
