I have been wearing the Danner wading boot with felt soles and find them light and easy to hike in. I have noticed that the side panels are breaking down fairly quickly. During one of my bush-wacking trips I tore a hole in one side of the boot. I hope to get the boot replaced or repaired depending on what Danner will do for me.

I went with these after purchasing a Hodgemens model that didn't last one trip.
