A piece of shoe lace came off as I was putting my wading shoes last week. I checked the shoes and found out that the metal parts for the shoe lace have been badly corroded.
According to the manufacturer, these metal parts are claimed to be "saltwater resistant", so I have been assuming that these are made
of stainless steel. In stead, they are made of some
cheap metal which are not that saltwater resistant.
I always wash my fishing gears including the wading shoes after each fishing sessions, which was also the advice I got from L.L.Bean about their wading shoes, but it looks like it didn't make much difference in the end.
The corrosion is happening on every eyelet. Very disappointing. |
