Just wondering if anyone has found a way to convert the felt soled waders to rubber soled or knows where/who does a conversion. I have three of four sets that will need to be converted before 2012.
Thanks in advance for any information.

Locate a set of rubber soled waders in your size and to your liking.Originally Posted by cptnron4
Buy them.
Don't worry they will be worn out by then.
If they aren't, you ain't fishin' hard enough!!!!
I'm dipping my felt in tar.
what about just taking the felt off?

pull my finger....
And putting teflon on the bottoms because it would be less slippery!!!
hand drill w/wire wheel = no felt.

Contact a local cobbler. Also, on the Simms website you can find a list of folks that will put on Vibralam (msp?) and remove felt. Can't see why the approved cobblers couldn't do that for any make of wading boot. That may be a good place to start your search.
The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.
I plan to pull off my felt and apply copious amounts of Shoe Goo to the bottom to build up a tread.
