I run Korker Streamborns, have trail,felt and studded soles..hard on laces (4 pair in a year +/- 100 outings) studded soles split to pieces @ -15, felt came loose on one late last season, both replaced for free tho .. comfy boots for sure, pretty durable uppers, hardly any marks on mine. Never ever had soles fall off. main things when considering wading boots, traction, comfort, and stealth .. sometimes you have to choose between according to conditions, this is why I use a multisole system
