The "new" boots capture and transport invasive species just like felt boots will, just only in the upper part of the boot.

Seems like the key to addressing the problem really centers on spending quality time on the unsexy task of cleaning our gear properly and regularly, and not just replacing it with lesser gear that still can perpetuate the problem, but makes us feel better about it.
A right emblem it may be, of the uncertain things of this world; that when men have sold them selves for them, they vanish into smoke. ~ William Bradford
I finally realized that Life is a metaphor for Fly Fishing.
