Been through this decision process recently. Just picked up a pair of simms freestones with felt soles a couple of weeks ago to replace a really old set of simms guide boots that just fell apart after many years of adventures. Was quite set on getting rubber soles but based on the advice in store at Iron Bow went with felt again and after several sessions in them I am glad I did as they perform well and definitely better traction than anything rubber I have ever worn in the water. As an FYI pretty sure the freestones are lighter than the guide boots also, at least thats what it felt like in the store. If these last even half a long as my previous Simms boots I will be ahead of the game...best value for dollar IMO and based on the research I did online.
