I wonder what the grip would be like if you screwed in some felt in between the natural treads of the boot..... Will try do an experiment on some old Jonsson ankle gumboots

I often wade with these in the Vaal River when I want to give my wading boots a break: ankle_gumboot_2.jpg
I wear them with neoprene socks with gravel guards, never had a problem. Have also used them on various Lesotho trips

To fish is human,
to throw back is divine
As mentioned, I do not expect these boots to be the strongest, longest lasting boots.
But for stealth and surreptitious wading, I think this will be really great.
And for travelling, as it takes a lot less space.
the only pity is that they do not make it in #13 or 14 to wear with waders.
So I will only wear it with normal socks, but for warmer months that is fine

that sounds perfect for those not spending to much time on the rivers.
Im looking at doing that with these boots but the synthetic ones: http://olympic-sport.co.za/product/trail-hi/

they really not that expensive, I also need ankle support due to skateboarding injuries. I already have smelly feet :biggrin: so will make sure they dry properly. as for the stitching will have to play that by ear. although I have protected stitching with super glue before.
