Sheesh. I haven’t been to this site in a while.
I really like my L2 Aquastealths. I bought a pair last fall because my Chotas could no longer be held together with duct tape. ;D I liked my chotas a great deal.
My first impression of the Aquastealths was that they were a bit stiff. But after about the third trip in them they loosened up.
I like the rubber soles for fishing on the spring creeks in the upper midwest. I can get up and down the steep banks much easier than with the felt soles. The only criticism that I have of this product is that I really am not to crazy about the conventional laces. The Chotas had speed laces that you never have to worry about untying.
