Are felt boots history?

[mojorizing]

I'm a little late in the game with this post. Brook, don't underestimate the majority of fly fishers. They hear about zebra mussels, whirling disease and other aquatic nuisances, how you should clean your boat, out drive, felt boots etc. I think most want to do their part. TU is recommending boot makers to get rid of felt in the next couple years. Simms will not be making wading boots with felt soles anymore. I think it's more than just speculation about aquatic nuisances anymore. They're here and it's going to be hard to get rid of them.
I hate felt soles. Love the Simms Vibram soles. I'm doing my part. I also check the outdrive and intake on my float tube too. It's damn clean.
