I wear them for the firm sole, since I paddle kneeling with my toes pointed straight down: the sole (attached to the high tops lashed around the ankle) supports the weight of the foot and lower leg, rather than the toes. The 5.10 stealth rubber soles are better than old Converse soles for traction on a wide variety of surfaces. Felt is better on algae-covered rock, vibram is better on dry rock, but I don't think anything beats stealth rubber for sand-covered surfaces, both wet and dry. Avoid wearing them at home, because they scuff floors with black skidmarks. They also wear out fast on pavement. My favorite water shoes are NRS felt soled kickers. I've had them for 6-7 years, have tried other options but like these the best. Since I'm also a flyfisherman I use them while wading the local streams as well. Go to the NRS web site (www.nrsweb.com) and enter "felt sole" in the search box. |
