I picked up a pair of Cabela's Guidewear Pro, rubber soled/ studded wading boots. They worked out pretty well on the Perk yesterday morning, even without the studs. I was in too much of a hurry to put them in, besides, why not try the boots out each way they can be used, right?
It turns out that they seemed to stretch a little when wet. The problem was the width. After I had been in for a while, I had to tighten them up considerably.
Having the small feet that I do, (71/2 most of the time), I'm thinking the size 8's may be better than the 9's that I tried on in the store over my new waders ( Frogg Togg Canyon stocking foots).
They had Simms G3 felt soles in the Bargain Cave for $73.00. I didn't get them because of the lack of studs and the uproar over Didymo. Now, since I have to go back to try on the 8's in the Cabela's boots, I'm rethinking my brand decision. I wish I could pop the $200.00 for the Simms, but that would be stupid for me. I don't do this for a living.
Can anyone weigh in on the topic? I've heard rumors on banning felt altogether for 2012 and I don't want to waste my gift card.
