Need To Be Better
I've had these boots for about 4 months now and they are great but have some quality defects in them. The shoe laces didn't even last 2 months and had to buy another pair. The D rings that hold the gravel guards are always coming apart and never hold the guards the whole time I'm fishing. I lost count how many times that I've had to repair these and now the fabric that holds them is starting to fray.

Entry level shoe
Have gone through 2 pair of these shoes and they last exactly one season. Too bad they are not sewn as the felts come off the sole. Otherwise the are lighting quite comfortable.

Not a good boot
First time I used the boots, thought they were light, comfortable and gripped well. BUT, by the end of the first day the eye for the gravel guard hook had fallen off. 9 days of fishing later the drain hole guards have fallen out of both boots leaving the boots full off sand - not good for the neoprene booties.
I have also returned the Encounter waders as they leaked within a couple of days.
Orvis - where has your quality gone?

Repeated Poor Quality
2014 and 2015 two pairs with the sole separation problem after 12. resp.15 Fishingtrips. Product is not worth the money and does not reflect your Pride of Ownership nor your Performance. You certainly lost me as customer

Excellent boots at an even better price
Took these out for the first time this morning and I am genuinely impressed! Bought the felt sole and hiked up and down river for at least 4 miles. A variety or terrain from boulders to sand proved to be easy task for these boots! My feet were comfortable all day and in terms of traction, I may have well been walking on a carpet floor with cleats on. Thanks for another awesome product Orvis!
