@Justin Crossley if you pull your liners out what does the footbed look like? I have a bunch of black circles that could be dye from the felt liner or I suppose some kind of microbial.
@Hoffman Boots thought it was dye when I talked to them over the phone, but hasn't replied when I emailed pictures. You and I bought these about the same time, so I am curious what yours are like.
For clarity to anyone reading, I have no negative feelings at all, I LOVE my Hoffman pacs and I will probably get an Outdoorsman pair for upland birds.
