That was one of the selling points for picking the pair I did.I'd rather have the felt soles than lug.Korkers can get kinda weighty and aren't always necessary.
Studded felt can be glued over the original felt soles if you choose to do so also.

Thumbs up

I am on my 3rd pair of dry plus gII's in 4 seasons. all pairs have ended up with pinholes near the boottops. nothing I couldn't repair with a little aquaseal, instead I just return them in the winter for a new pair, no questions asked. I still use korkers even with the felt soles there are some situations where the felt turns into ice skates, especially very flat rocks aka weakapaug. Cabelas customer service equals LLBeans IMO, send it back and get new. I just had a real run around with Orvis about a leaking wading jacket and will not buy there anymore. Simms has a great rep not sure about returns and frankly will not pay that kind of dough for something I abuse. The GII's are also great for trout fishing.
