i called orvis and they said they would replace the boots with new ones. they have done this in the past. these boots i have now were replaced a few years ago. only problem is if they still have some of these laying around. it can't hurt to try. if they dont have them, then they will send them back and i'll replace the felt. the boots are in excellent shape so i dont want to throw them away. __________________ Soccer-Mom Pro-Staffer

Peel old felt off rough up bottom apply very strong adhesive then put New felt in place wrap with Duct tape and let dry with duct tape still wrapped around for 2 days. Remove duct tape and you are done![]() __________________ Member UBNJ
