Lousy glue job on Vision boots

$Rusty Chotas - The Chota boots are amongst the most comfortable boots I have owned, but they were not constructed to endure my use. I have worn them in salt and fresh water, always rinsed them when I returned home and kept them as dry as possible. Still they slowly came apart, and as the inner soles and lining started coming off (right), I found the rusty remains of the \"steel\" inserted into the boot to make them better for hiking (left). Reinforcements like these are great, but they have to be stainless to take the constant soaking that wading boots naturally will meet.$

$Teeny style zipper - These boots are radically different from other wading boots I\'ve owned. They close in the back with a zipper and a Velcro strap - an excellent system even though the zipper does take a beating with a lot of contact with sand and rocks.$

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
