Terry Dodge Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 I don’t know, maybe I should know but to be truthful, I don’t. My wife ordered me a new pair of wading boots. I just received them and noticed that they were felt soles. Is this a problem? I really don’t know. I have never considered them just because I think they would be slippery. I could be wrong because I really don’t know. should I send them back, or give them a try? (this is why I don’t like to order things) 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gillio Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Terry, I can tell you this much. They are good on rock and gravel, but terrible on wet grass and mud. So it depends on what you are walking on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of that. I’m pretty sure most of my hiking thru the woods, , now a days, is done this time of year while in my waders.. Once the water warms for wet wading all my access points are easy peesy. What about those studs? Anybody ever use those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Briggs Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 I use the studs on my wading boots and feel the definitely make a difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev-mo Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 Echo the above, felt is slippery on mud and grass. Also picks up lots of snow. Studs definitely make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 On slippery rocks, felt really shines. I've yet to find a rubber sole that will grip as well as felt on rocks with current. Felt with studs....even better. As far as the whole transferring invasives thing, I will bite my tongue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the input. Seems funny how I always got a little bag full of studs when I purchased rubber sole but did not get any with this felt pair. I know I got a few bags laying around here somewheres. I’m sticking with them and will probably plant a few studs here and there. Thanks again, guys!
