A Nebe> Have you had a chance to see the new Ultralight II that's replacing the Ultralight? I'm liking what I see. I was barely getting a season out of the Ultralight. The new ULII appears to be built better. The Aquastealth also has a siped sole. The sole is some kinda nice and sticky. Studs are still the same length so I'm not expecting the studs to last any longer but the rest of the boot is promising. Not quite as rugged as the old Approaches (which I miss), but a step in the rugged direction. Oh, and I traded in my old Ultras for the ULII's. Speaking of wearing out the soles> Was at the Bean show last Sunday and spoke (again) to them about how dumb it is to have to return the shoes for just the soles wearing out. They still had no good reason as to why they don't offer replacement Aquastealth soles for their boots.

Wow, you deserve a new pair.
Would you still wear korkers for those "extreme" areas such as "heavy" algae, "heavy" kulp and slimmy oily rocks ?
I like those boots (no, not your old ones) and if I had them I would wear them for the same terrain (plus some) as I do my felt bottom boots and wear my korkers as I usually would in those extreme areas.
i would wear korkers if i am wading through bubble weedy rocks or if i was standing on bubble weed. the aquastealths really are awesome on algae covered slimey rocks as the soles conform to the curves of a roound rock. Im lazy and probably wore my korkers 3 times last season.. you just dont need them with those studded soles.
