I wore out 3 sets of felts on my Simms Freeestones before the boots started to fail. That is pretty good value.
I just cut off the worn out felt and replaced with new by using Marine goop.
After watching people slip around everywhere on rubber soles, I have no desire to buy anything but felt. Deep wading in heavy current is no place for rubber soles.
I have a Quat disinfectant solution to bathe my boots in for infection control
