Default Wading boot selection problem


bugcaster I own these boots, and can recommend them only if you are
bugcaster careful to inspect the spiked felt soles. I've had two of
bugcaster their felt spiked soles come apart after one or two days of
bugcaster fishing.

I don't think that's a problem, since spiked felt soles are not on the
menu. My ordinary wading boots are Simms boots with studs, and I think
that the studs make too much noise in small-stream fishing.

bugcaster I have changed soles on the river to save a friends drift
bugcaster boot from cleat damage, and have not had the felt come lose
bugcaster from the hard plastic. I do think their felt clogs more
bugcaster easily, and so does not have the same grip as my Chotas.

Which Chotas do you have? Maybe the "STL" Plus boots might be an
option if I just used them without the cleats. I would also need to
know how much water they absorb / how quickly they dry.
