I just watched the vid on the omnitrax. If they make an ankle high boot it is a good looking shoe. I agree that the sole will stay put better but i doubt it will stay put in extreme comditions under continued use. I can almost gurantee it will need to be fastened to the shoe, but that being said I would buy it in an instand when my second pair of older model boots are trashed. You just dont want the shoe to fail or give you trouble when it counts.

torrents are good, but after 2 nights walking the small round rocks of cutty last year my ankles were killing me. I then switched to the boots for ankle support, but both are really good. I know a couple guys that swear by the korker sandles for wetsuiting but i cant get myself to be bare toed wading and swimming at night. Just kinda freaks me out.

Agree with BassBaller. I have the torrents and, while great for wetsuiting, they offer zero support on the ankles. If Im in waders, I wear my hightops.

Afraid of hermit crabs?
You should wetsuit fish with me some time...I baste my suit in a tub of bunker oil before every outing...  |
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

I did put a treble through my nose for real this spring, reaching for a fish the needle popped out . . .I felt it crunch as it went through . . . thank you barbless. |
May fortune favor the foolish....
