Felt boots are VERY slippery on ceramic tiles apparently... Sounds like something a secret carpenter would say. Thanks for watching! What are your thoughts?!

We all know that cleated soles are extremely dangerous to walk on ceramic tiled floors. Never do that!

Which one did you end up buying? I’m also a beginner and doing research. One thing I commonly found was that most of all Waders and boots have a bad review or reputation. I hope you can point me in the right direction 🙏

I use studded felt for out in the Pacific ocean while surf fishing. It’s the best combination of grip on slippery rock and being able to cut through seaweed to get to the rock for better traction

I live just north of Yellowstone. I just bought some boots and felt was discouraged. They encourage washing boats, rafts, and boots to stop evasive species.

Invasive species can be carried on almost anything. If a concern, you should wash everything. Felt is in fact not allowed in Yellowstone but we use it everywhere else in Montana.

All the hype about felt soles alone being responsible for transferring invasive aquatic organisms is a bunch of hooey! Rubber soled wading shoes have laces, padded ankle support, material uppers, and the entire inside material all of which is porous! Not to mention neoprene and breathable wader material! Unless the entire system is non-porous rubber, banning felt soles is absurd!
