Korkers cross current?????

i just bought a pair about a month ago and love them they are awsome boots.i have the jetty spikes they are the big carbide tipped ones. i usually fish a stream with very slippery rocks with moss all over the place. i didnt slip once for the money it is a great investment to make. i am very happy i did.

There great boots I used mine all last season and never slipped once and I'm using the same soles as twister described to you. If your not sure about size I know the Gander mountain in erie carries them so you can try them on. For me I wear a size 10 shoe and bought 11's so I have plenty of room for the booty and heavy socks.

I bought a pair with the dial on the front, got three different soles felt, korker, and lug. I fish alot and in one salmon/steelhead season lost half of the studs. When i went to change over to the felt for trout season the strap that hooks around back broke. For 175$ they could be a little more sturdy, however they are light and comfortable, and the dial lace thing works well even in winter.

Product innovation, in most cases, is a good thing. The fishing industry depends on it.
 
But in some cases, the KISS principle prevails.
 
I know alot of guys who don't care for the korker sandles (because they are fugly and weigh a couple of pounds), but they are indestructible and will keep you on your feet whether you are on slimy rocks, mud, snow, or clear ice). And they take less than 30 seconds to put on/take off.
 
I was so impressed when I bought the Korker sandles 8 years ago that I bought another set (in case they discontinued them). The new pair is still in the box because the originals are still going strong (actually two of the spikes on one foot are slightly bent).
 
I've used them strapped over hunting boots too. If roofers trust them, they are good enough for me. 
 
Dials with stainless bindings break, soles that depend on a key tightened band and a couple of slots to hold them in place wind up in the river.
 
Maybe I'm just awfully tough on my gear, but I will keep it simple - and avoid paying high prices for the latest innovation.
 
 
The latest version of the K5000 sandles look about the same as the ones I have:

Cold,
 
Did you like the studded felts? These shoes are going to be used up there only. I have no need to use them down here. I have hip boots for that. I wasn't sure If people liked the soles on them and how they held up. I have alot of foot problems and didn't want to use mt 35$ cabela specials this year.

Havent used them yet. I'll wet wade in my FiveFingers till mid-Sept.

Thats another reason why I was thinking about buying a boot with interchangable soles. Also, I only get up to fish 3 or 4 times max so I figure they should last quite a few years if I buy a decent pair.
