Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: These are great to get you to the stream but once there you are better off bare foot. As others have complained the rubber lugs defeat the felt and studs and though they will preserve the bottom of your drift boat they are horrible to wade in anything but sandy bottom stream beds. I will however say that they are adequate when fishing saltwater i.e. ledges and rocks. They require constant attention to placement of feat ensuring that the balls of your feet (where the felt and studs are) make contact with any possibly slippery surfaces. I have since modified mine by cutting about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch off of the rubber lugs and have found that this improves the boot immensely.

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The felt came apart on my first trip, but I needed them, so I drove screws through them to hold them together. That lasted about three more trips. It's a shame b/c they are comfortable, but a big waste of money.

Pros:
Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: On my second pair and I love them. Best winter wading boot I ever owned. Won't pile snow and are not as slippery as felt on muddy banks. Have used them in Montana, New Zealand, and home here in Minnesota with no problems.
