aqua stealth wading shoe

[BLACKGHOST1]

I got an LL bean fly fishing catalog in the mail yesterday and they have this wading shoe with the rubber bottom. I'm looking for a new pair of wading shoes and was wondering if any of you guys have any experience with this type of sole. How does it hold up to the slippery rocks of the housy and the farmington? Is it better than felt bottoms or studded felt? I'm thinking of buying this type because of the didymo thing.

The aquastealth does not give you a good grip like felt. I have a pair of boots with aquastealths but they have spikes on them. I like them because the snow does not stick to the bubber bottoms.

last I checked, the "B" key is quite the distance away from the "R" key. I think A-man has some serious issues to work on that are probably best kept to himself. ;D Maybe it's a lingering Arkansas thing... (no offense to our Arkansan brethren).

I often wonder how aaron makes some of the typos he does... my best bet is that he lacks complete control of his fingers... this would explain how he is able to move them so quickly when tying knots. He doesn't actually have to think about tying the knots because the fingers are in control of themselves.

Thanks Aaron.

I blame the typos on the new blackberry. I am not perfect with it yet.

Orvis has a new shoe with studded aquastealth that is pretty reasonable. Korkers will have a new studded aquastealth convertible sole coming out soon that s even nicer. The industry word is that studded aqua is the way to go for the future and that it holds real well. The convertible design is nice because you can take the stud sole out to fish from a boat.

The newest Fly Rod and Reel magazine has a thorough wading shoe comparison.
