I do think in the future that felt will go by the way side. Very easy to transport things that shouldn't be.
A couple of states have outlawed them and I notice more companies making the AQUA-STEALTH style sole.
I have had both, but I only use the Aqua-stealth now. They do work on slick rocks, plus they are 100% better in snow!
One thing Simms does, is on some of their shoes, Like the Ultra Lights that I have, they send a package of stainless steel sheet metal screws.
I put four in the ball portion of the boot and four in the heel. They are great traction and can be removed for like climbing in drift boats.
I even recommended the screws (which you can get at any Hardware store) for people buying shoes at Orvis. You can put them in any shoe and have CLEETS. Just don't get too long[laugh] OUCH!
