You don't want to wear studded boots, the rocks you need to climb over are too

But will plain felts be OK for hiking? I know that mine (Hodgemans)
offer less than ideal traction when hiking.

Plain felts should be OK for that, or you can just wear sneakers and carry
your wading shoes. The biggest problem I have with felts and hiking is in the
fall when everything is covered with wet leaves.
