I use a pair of korkers wading boots with the same interchangeable
sole system but with the old fashioned tie your own laces for under
$100. http://korkers.com/product.php?recKey=36

I also use these for wet wading, they aren't much for preventing one
from sinking in mucky michigan streams as you witnessed but they have
worked great during my appalachian trips.

Well, now that the bruises have healed I feel it's only fair
to tell you that I rated that fall as only a quarter Reid.
The Russian judge may disagree but for me the hat has to be
floating freely downstream for a fall to be a full Reid and
you never even lost your hat.

I replaced my Chota felts with the Chota rubber soles. My next
trip is to northern Minnesota the first two weeks of September.
I'll have both pairs of boots with me so I'll be able to compare
them. I'll post a felt vs. rubber gear review from Grand Marais.
