korker wading boots

I just got my Korker Wetlands this year and they are great so far.  I have 3 different soles for them.  One is the plain rubber sneaker type sole, another felt with studs and lastly the rubber studded sole which I like the best so far.  I have not had any problems with the soles coming out or even moving.  They seem very tight and don't move period.  I'm very satisfied with them.  I did hear that they come out with new ones called aquastealth which are supposed to be awesome.  Hope this helps.

Thats the answer I was looking for. Thanks

carp,

What size wading boot do you need? I have a pair of lightly used in either 11 or 12 that are too small for me. Last I checked I had the plain felt, normal lug sole, and carbide studs (not studs in a lug sole). I haven't fished them in almost 2 years.

I'd let them go for a decent price if you're interested.

FWIW, I like them a lot when I was fishing a lot. I'd normally have the felt soles in. If I was in the lake or fishing the summer bass streams I'd usually put in lugs. Same for brookie fishing. I used the carbide tips a few times on jetties in the salt and they grip great. I only got a new pair when my new waders had a heavier neoprene bootie and didn't fit. They were snug with the old waders, but with the new ones they were unwearable. I'm a 12 shoe for an every day shoe or hunting boot. I think these are 11's, but maybe 12's. If you're interested I'll bring them home with me this weekend and have them to ship to you.

Thanks,
Rick

They don't seem to have Korker boots in FishUSA, otherwise I would recommend them....I got mine from Sierra Trading post online and you can get replacement soles on ebay if you do a search......Fishwest carries them, they may even have the boots....I hope this wasn't illegal here on the site since FishUSA doesn't have the boots.  I do, however, think that Korkers discontinues the Wetlands and have new models out there....I know that the replacement soles attach differently instead of the velcro.  Good Luck in your search.....

I just saw them at Gander down here in Harrisburg. They come with 2 different souls but not the studded ones and thats what I'm really looking for right now. I was hoping that fishusa carried them so I could just pick them up this weekend.

I just tried to PM you but apparently your inbox is full.  I might be interested in the boots that you described above if they're a size 11.  If you're still interested in parting with them and they're a size 11 shoot me a PM and let me know what you'd take for them including shipping.  I'm in Pittsburgh.

Korkers are nice and I wont dispute that, my friend just bought a pair the insirts do not come out without the tool that comes with them BUT why settle for second best when you are spending that kind of doe.  SIMMS AQUASTEALTH you dont need insirts and most fly fishing shops carry them so you can try them on before you buy them insted of online then find out they dont fit.

Yep , it would be good to try on the korkers, I wear size 8 shoe but needed size 10 Korker

Hi Nathan,
 
PM sent.

Thanks,

oh yea i forgot the size thing, order 2 sizes bigger,  i'm a 13 and need a 15

yea sometimes a sie or part of a side does pop out of the slot, it's easy to get it back in with the tool.  however, if your on stream and this happen and you don't havethe tool, a pair of hemos will substitute nicely, especially the curved ones.
