Translation: "Our profit margin on wading boots has fallen since we got rid of felt soles, so we're bringing them back."

"The sciense hasn't changed..." NO, no it hasn't. The "new" boots capture and transport invasive species just like felt boots will, just only in the upper part of the boot. If you don't clean/dry them properly like you should with ANY boot, they really aren't a whole lot better than felt wrt transporting invasive species, yet traction stinks compared to felt.

Glad to see they finally got some common sense! (even if it took loos of profit to "see the light")
