Felt sole ban states?

[Panfisha]

Does anyone know what states currently have a ban on felt soles? All I know is that Maryland does, and I can't seem to find a definitive list on what other states do.

Vermont has a ban on them too, as you said I've never seen a listing but you'd have to check each state.

All I know is, I have a $100 pair of felt soles that are like new and comfortable. I'm gonna be ticked off if NJ or PA bans them.

Bah humbug, but here's a list anyway:

The only way there gonna get the felt soles off me is when I'm floating belly down in a river!

Hmmmm! Korkers with changable soles. All kinds of crap can get in there!! But legal because not felt? Give me a break!!

legal 'cause you can take them apart and expose all the surfaces easily to salt water and a scrub brush (which we should all do--every time!). just can't do that with felt.

Seems to me that ducks & geese cause more problems than felt soles, but they can't be legislated. We can.

If you have a pair of the felt sole replacement Korker's soles "you can them apart and expose all the surfaces easily to salt water and a scrub brush" too but they are still not legal in Maryland. I doubt even the new Svelte synthetic "felt" would pass muster in the Old Line State yet I bet it absorbs less "invasives" than a one piece rubber bottom shoe and all of its nooks & crannies.

Vilifying felts soles and embracing the alternatives is like driving a Prius or using one of those reusable shopping bags; the results will be negligible or nonexistent. It's more about making a statement than making a real difference.

Maybe we can get our felt soles registered for use on X (stream of choice), until they are no longer serviceable? At least all the presently made felt-soled wading shoes could be phased out through attrition! Yeah, I know - too hard to implement - just thinking out loud! LOL!!
