Wading Boots

[Milo]

So with the new regs which boots do you recommend?

For any discussion on the felt ban, please use other threads under Conservation Issues Forum.

Thanks

Simms Freestones are all I have ever owned. Just got my new pair with the vibrams and I like them as much as my old ones. They are hard to beat for support, comfort and durability.

Long story, short... a vendor sent me the Korkers Chorme by mistake. I love them. There is no reason to believe the $100.00 version wouldn't work just as well. But...I do like the wire lacing system.

Korkers for the one boot 3 or more choices of sole. For the $$$ top of the pile. Had mine for 3 years with not 1 thing I can say bad about them.

My vote goes for Korkers, I love mine.

Cougar Paws, They are made for roofer's and will stick to dang near anything. I can walk up to an 10/12 pitch roof with no problem.

Korkers - you can switch from studded to sticky rubber, depending on conditions. Don't like to wear studs inn the canoe, but love to have 'em when wading all day.

Still like my simms with the aquastealth sole, they are great here and out west, I do have the studs in mine and they are great, don't need em much

here in the ozarks, but wouldn't be without them out west.

I picked up a set of Korker Predators at a great price. I haven't had them wet, but I like the other features. If the wire lacing system holds up it will rival sliced bread in handy.

I'm not a fan of studs and any boots that offer an interchange would be a plus.

The bottom line will be what comes close to felt, if you really need it. Upper Taney and BSSP aren't too bad unless you fish the dam at BSSP.

Korkers Redside. They are comfortable and for the $125 I paid, I got the boots and the Kling-On rubber sole and the studded Kling-On rubber soles. I am thoroughly impressed with them. They fit well, are comfortable and have pretty decent traction.
