Where are you buying the Chotas in Ab? Those are the best boots period..
I put a dozen 3/8" long sheet metal screws in each sole, no slipping, but no boating.

My fishing buddy and I bought our "STL" Plus Chotas at Temple Fork Calgary, I don't believe they sell them now as I did not see them in their last catalog. You can buy them on Amazon and through their website though.
Did the same thing add screws to the soles. Nice that they have special countersunk areas for them. Used some leather conditioner on them this winter, which adds life to the leather. Have a second older set of the Abrams Creek style for boating.
