Default ....spare soles..............

over the last two weeks i have lost my felt soles off two pairs of waders ,my snowbee thigh waders with combi sole which both felt soles came off whilst fishing eventually causing me to give up as the stones were bloody hard through the thin sole of the rubber boot where the felt was then yesterday on my bootfoot chest waders the left felt sole decided to part company from my boot but carried on regardless until i had to give in as my bloody foot was suffering with the stones boulders etc ............... now my question is


is there any spare soles out there apart from felt to be stuck onto my waders ????

Try a good cobbler Bruce, I only know of replacement felt soles from Norris's, never seen rubber ones.

Keep the ones that came off Bruce, as all good "souls" go to heaven.

Sticking the old felt soles back on with Gorilla glue has worked for me.

If you Google felt soles+replacement you'll get a ton of hit ... mostly from this side of the Pond. But these folks appear to be over your way:
