Welcome from a fellow Great Lakes native and new member.
Trout from out west somewhere:

I look like the UPS man.
Nice fish.
If I had to do it all over again I would buy the Simms.
The felt thing won’t make a difference, if the fish can see your foot anyway then he’s gonna spook when you move it. Also once you start wearing your new ones and get them muddied up they will be black anyway.
Oh also, the snugness of the Chota’s is fine with their lacing kit.
I’m from Grand Rapids, MI originally.
I work in politics.
From Michigan but now living in Washington, DC.
Sure Tim.
I have the Chota STL Wading Shoes (I think).
Just to clarify, I’m the one with all the decent fish and Texas hat.
Skinny brown
Sunset (this one was photoshopped just a bit)
Daytime bow
Another nighttime brown
Daytime brown
I couldn’t figure out how to post multiple pics so here we go.
