Sorry gentelmen and lady------------- your not doing your research- and your making comments off hand- almost everyone of those studies said neo's were #1 and #2 was the inside of the boot behind the 
and then 3# was felt soles. But only felt soles are being banned. You tell me whose pushing what and why . The rubber soles are being pushed as the save all- BS on that - like you said micro organisms (Didymo diatom). They can be in your shoe laces and every where else. If you think that the felt sole is the big culprit in this then you are buying into this and a lot of other things in your life. Follow the $$$$$$$ and the manufactures- you'll find there is a lot of
hype and advertisements out there pushing for you to switch and get your $$$$$$.
I am as clean about this as anyone- I clean my toons at the car wash- I have a clorox spray I use after I clean my boots. I wash my waders which are not neo's but they are mico organisms for Godsake. They can get in anything period. It's great you are concerned but if the banned were to be as useful as it could be then neoprene's would be outlawed- all boots that weren't sealed at the top with no laces- so booties only and not neo booties- ect ect. But why are only felt soles banned and not the #1 and #2 items that fisherman wear ? Give me a reasonable scientifically backed answer to that and I'll buy into that I have a conspiracy theory and Black heliocopters are circling my house. I've searched long and hard -Until then- I think everyone needs to do a bit of research rather that what came out in the latest Fly mag.
PS- if you have read these studies- and I have--- New Zealands included- they all say somewhere in them- they don't have a clue on how the organism works or breeds . They all admit this- This has to tell you something
