Wading boots

[Herman Jooste]

feltsoles will always out do a rubber sole boot when it comes to get in and stay in fishing i.e. the vaal. The felt grips way better, as we don't have the rocksnot enviromental issue here. Why bother using an alternative when there is no need.
The rubbersole is good if you need to walk and wade like the cape and rhodes.
The main advantage is the threadgrip you have on grass, mud, track and the like.

feltsoles if you are not carefull where you step can make you look like a pregnant fairy.i watched a guy do a fantstic swallow dive on the grass at Arendsnes. not pretty!!!

The only reason it's not an enviromental issue is because it's already taken over the whole environment

Too true! and i have no idea how we would deal with to get rid of it. oh yes wear rubber soles!!
just on that, have you seen just how much insect life there is on each strand of that unmentionable stuff. it's amazing how many caddis worms are on a string.

Dont know why one complains of ''smarty grass'' it's a food chain, like P/PAY.

Dave, you were quite correct. It is a wonderfull home for the "goggas" and filters the water beutifully. Vis at Eastco on Wed was at least 40" ( For those too young to understand inches, One Metre.)
Yes the snot causes problems, but then again "cos it's there it makes you take off the blinkers and think out the box

Chota's modified with Aquastealth soles.

Hike in with them. Ok for SB and HS, but not perfect for longer hikes like Witte. My feet get pretty bruised when hiking in these over rocky areas.

Hiking boots in and then swop not really an option, coz I don't use a backpack anymore, just large vest (already contains Monsoon jacket and emergency fleece in the back).

got a pair of wading boots fro alaska that have rubber soles that are used for hiknig and then can be changed to felt soles when you get to the river. Probably takes about 30 seconds to change. They work like a dream

Can you only get them from Alaska? Sounds like the thing we need...

Amen brother! Give us a name brand or something to work with here. I'll pay top dollar for something like that.
