Regarding felt sole shoes for wading boots and waders for Flyfishing. Advantages and disadvantages?
I've seen several people walk into a river for the first time wearing felt soles and they all comment on how they can walk around so much easier with them......
plus side:
1) they stick like they are glued in place(well maybe, but they do stick)
2)if you slip while fighting a fish, you're less likely to fall down & start fillin up in a panic....
3)and this is a huge one, mobility, you'll be able to move away from bushes, or move closer to the feeding lane you are workin, this means shorter casts or less mending of your line
4) they keep you fishin, wading all day in 50 degree water in shorts? derrick doesn't fish where I do, at some places even on 100 degree days you can't be in the water for all that long without having waders, so wearing them can be the difference...if you're spending hours waist deep in 50 degree water you pretty much have to have them.
negatives:1) they do wear out, if you fish hard and walk a bunch you can wear out felt soles in a season, they have kits to replace the soles but in my experience they are pretty beat up by that time, I usually spring for a new pair.
I use felt soled boots with steel cleats, if you think felt sticks well, the cleats with the felt really works well.....
