At our Spring Fling, I won the silent auction for a certificate from
Chota. I was able to buy a pair of their new Caney Fork "Felt
Alternative" wading boot at cost. I paid the extra and had them send
a set of studs too. Unfortunately, they were back ordered on the
carbide, so I got the regular studs (aluminum sheet metal screws).
Taking the boots to Penns. Will do some comparison with my felt
Chotas (that have been soaked in a bleach solution since the trip to
the White in Arkansas).
Watch this space.
