My current boots, which I purchase this past spring, are the best I've ever had... Orvis River Guard Side Zip Brogue Boots with EcoTrax soles. I left a review on the site. http://www.orvis.com/store/product.a...subcat_id=6047

I retired my old steelhead boots for these as well. I expect I'll be much happier with these than with my old steelhead boots. There's more room for extra pair of socks. They are the easiest boots to get into and with the studs I don't expect I'll slip on the ice like I did with my old pair or rubber bottom wading boots....and right now I can't afford to slip on anything.
