I just purchased a pair of Danner River gripper with Studs at the Danner outlet here in portland. I am totally amazed at the stuff they handle. I was wading across the vedder river the weekend before last and the shoes were just grabbing the bottom. To test them even further I jumped to the downstream side of a big boulder in thigh deep water. The current was pretty strong and the shoes just gripped. You can get factory seconds for $100 and the outlet is on airport way. I would recommend Cabelas waders with these boots. I don't think you would be dissapointed. I know I'm not. Next time you're down here to harass Steve you could pick them up Os.
