Thanks spence, i broused the sierra trading post, and they have the korkers boots wicked cheap. Also, the beans west branch aqua stealth look like a decent boot. One or the other will be purchased after the MBSA show.

I picked up a pair over the winter. We'll see how they hold up this season.

I just ordered a pair from cabelas. I used a gift card. The store in hartfod had a really poor selection as did the BPS. I didnt check the online stores. Hopefully they will do the trick. Thanks guys.

I bought a pair of the Cabelas Lightweights with studs last year. Haven't had a chance to use them yet, but they are very comfortable and very lightweight. I'm looking forward to not wearing rubber bootfoot waders and Korkers this year.

The hodgmans arn't to bad for the money either. They make a lug sole. If there's one thing of wading shoes I've learned is that you have to rinse and put them to dry to get them to last a little longer. No matter how mildew proof they are.

Compared to most studded felts, the studs stick out really far which helps on weed. Plus I figure once they do eventually fall out, you still have felt boots, which is what I used to buy anyway.
You need to make 2 small cuts on each boot to get your foot in easily - don't worry, it's not as bad as it sounds. |
