I picked these boots up yesterday from the Housatonic River Outfitters in Cornwall (www.dryflys.com). First a word about these guys: I can't reccomend them highly enough. They carry great product lines at very fair prices and have got to be some of the most helpful people I've run into on the river, very willing to point out some good smallmouth turf I hadn't covered yet. All in all, great people!

The boots themselves are outstanding. I was looking for something to just be able to stand firmly in a few feet of water, and these shoes fit the bill perfectly. They're very comfortable and dry out very very quickly. I can't yet vouch for the durability of the soles and studs, but I'll post as they get more use.

All in all, if you stand in the river to fish anywhere, these are a great pair of boots for about 100 dollars, and they sure make standing there a much more stable proposition!
