Something wrong there. Your experience is different from the others I know (maybe 6-7 paddlers) who use Chotas. I have an older pair with the soft soles which has seen very heavy use over 6 years. They are beginning to leak slightly at the seams and where the rubber sole joins the upper neoprene part. A bead of Aquaseal has brought them back to life, but they are tired and so I invested in the heavier-duty ones. If the new ones leak, they'll go back to the place I got them. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
