Supprised no one has dipped their toe’s in this one yet,I will continue with my felts and studs until i’m forced to change, just how many folks really disinfect or clean boots or waders, there so many places these unwanted critters can hide and live besides in felt,personally I think manufacturers are using science to market a whole new line boots and some are just dangerous where I wade

You’re not alone in this one, and I’m not entirely sure what the states are basing their felt bans on, but I expect we’ll see more of these in the future…

Yeah, like I’m supposed to worry about the impacts of my felt soles here in Colorado with 80000 lb. tractor-trailers loaded with fracking fluid and condensate flying down the the highways adjacent to rivers, not to mention the million tourists floating down the rivers with boats and bugs from who knows where. I will continue to soak my felt soled boots in the 5 gallon bucket of water and bleach in the back of my pickup and not worry about it, even if they pass legislation here (which I haven’t seen proposed yet). I haven’t had my fishing license checked in 30 years, who’s going to be checking boots?!

All good points. And even if you used rubber soles, you’d still need that bucket…
