FISHAHOLIC,
AS FAR AS THE VELCRO, YOU CAN GET ONE YEAR OUT OF THEM EASILY....REPLACEMENT FELT SOLES ARE 27.99.....BOOTS ARE HOLDING UP VERY WELL ON THEIR THEIRD YEAR...STILL ALOT OF SUPPORT FOR 100+NIGHTS A YEAR.

AGAIN, THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Don:

The only "problem" I've had, maybe 5 times in 2 + years of use, is if you don't make sure the soles are tightly locked into the front of the boot & velcroed tightly in the back, on bolling ball type rocky terrain the sole may pop off the boot. This is when walking on these types of rocks and having the soles bend alot on the rocks. Again, as long as they are on tight it should not happen.

I've been using the Orvis Convertible boots also this year and those soles are locked in tighter with screws, so they can't pop off.

Still the best bet in my opinion. Not as clumsy as Korkers with all the traction from the screws.

DON,
HAD THAT HAPPEN OPNCE IN THREE YEARS...BIG HOP FROM ONE ROCK TO THE NEXT AND THE FIRST MACHINE SCREW CAUGHT THE ROCK...THE SOLE POPPED BUT DID NOT LOOSE IT AS THE VELCRO HELD.

COMES WITH TWO SET OF SOLES..PLAIN FELT AND STUDDED FELT.
THE FACTORY STUDS THAT COME WITH THE SOLE ARE MINUTE..DES THEIR JOB BUT NOT AS WELL WHEN YOU MODIFY THEM
GO TO LOCAL HARDWARE STORE... 3/4" stainless machine screw/bolts, drill pilot holoes through felt and put the screws in .. lock and load..now your a biilly goat.
trust me...the best you can get

What do the boots come with?
Do you have to buy the studs separately?
What's on the boots without the inserts? Lug sole?
