Just bought a pair of Chota Abrams Creek boots for my son and after several outings, have been impressed with them. The plan is when his foot grows more (15 years old and the way he's growing it should be by end of summer) the boots will be mine. right now we wear the same size shoe. My old Orvis Brogues are starting to show their age so the Chota's will be mine.

These boots still have felt (black felt) soles.

Call me a traditionalist, but I intend to stick with felt as long as the laws will allow.
