First, Ed's Fly Shop. This business is only 65 miles from my home, so I expected quick service . . . and got it. The product arrived appropriately packaged and within only a couple of days. So good on you, Ed's. As to the soles - they're fine and will do the job. But for some inexplicable reason Corkers doesn't provide any adhesive! Thus the 4-star rating. They could and should do better. I've bought a couple of tubes of Barge Cement, but may use Shoo Goo since these soles will go on an old pair of lightweight combat boots with uneven surfaces to create the kind of lightweight wading boots I can't find any more. And really, Corkers, no adhesive with replacement felt soles? What the heck are you thinking? At least make it an option.

A great product. Glue the felt to the shoe bottom with Shoe Goo or other “Goo” product. Use Dremel moto tool to carve excess felt around wader. My buddy’s waders with felt have lasted 13 years!!!

The creek where I fish has very slippery rocks and makes wading without felt nearly impossible. This is how I was successful in applying these felt soles to my old sneakers:1. Wash sneakers in the washing machine to remove dirt. Allow them to dry.2. I traced the size of the shoe onto the felt, then used a utility knife (with a brand new blade) to cut out the shape. Cutting this material is very difficult.3. I applied a thin layer of Barge All-Purpose TF Cement Rubber to both the shoe's sole and the gray side of the felt. I used an acid brush to apply the cement. I allowed this to dry for one hour (it was 90 degrees in my garage with high humidity). After an hour passed, I applied another thin layer and allowed it to rest 15 minutes, then I attached the felt to the shoe sole.4. I applied spring clamps to the areas where it was needed and let them sit for 48 hours. I made sure to pay close attention to the tip of the sneaker where the sole turns upward because the felt is not that compliant without the help of a spring clamp or two. After 48 hours, remove the clamp and enjoy.NOTE: the Barge All-Purpose TF Cement Rubber tube was barely enough for one pair of shoes.I used them in the creek and they work perfectly. If the felt or the glue prematurely fails, I will be back to update this review. Otherwise, assume that things are going well.

Went on like a charm. Very rugged felt. Hard to cut so make sure you use a razor blade or really good and sharp scissors

The instructions are really good. These replaced my original factory felt soles. They are holding up very well from multiple fishing excursions.

I gorilla glued these to some hiking boots for fishing rocky break walls and rocky river banks when not using waders. Works great. Im updating my review to inform that gorilla glue did not bond well to my hiking boots. It stuck very well to the felt soles but released from my boot soles after a few weeks. I will try AquaSeal or something similar next time.

The product itself was fine. It is extremely difficult to trim to the exact boot size as the felt is made of sturdy material. I was unsuccessful in getting a tight fit between this replacement sole and my boots despite my best efforts to bind it when the glue was drying. I eventually gave up and bought a new pair of wading boots.

I like them well enough. They have a felt side and a hard almost cardboard side. I would've preferred felt on both sides, but they'll do.Review update (04/29/2014) - Used them a considerable amount of times last year on my waders and they worked awesome. While I was skeptical about the underside (the "cardboard") it held up amazingly well in the water and Korkers must know what they are doing. Ugraded this to a 5-star (from 4)
