Great wading boot, would buy again By Pete from Arizona on 08/28/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Good Grip Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Wonderful fit. The studded felt soles that are optional with this shoe are a must for algae covered river cobbles. Just got back from the SanJuan River, and could not be happier with this shoe.
By Fly Guy from Manchester,NH on 08/25/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Good Grip, Versatile Best Uses: Fly Fishing, Freshwater Fishing, Saltwater Fishing Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought these for their versatility. The trail soles keep you from wearing out felt soles on long hikes in and work fine on sand and gravel. In addition you can buy the rubber studded soles from Korkers eliminating the need for seperate studded sandals required for early spring fishing. Allthough not the lightest wading boot they are actually more comfortable to walk in than my light weight wading boots. Bottom line, the versatiliy and comfort more than make up for them being on the heavy side.
Korkers - just what I was looking for! By Wispern from Sydney, AUSTRALIA. on 08/14/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Dries Easily, Durable, Good Grip Best Uses: Fly Fishing, Freshwater Fishing Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Anyone thinking of fishing in New Zealand from 1 October 2008 will need to swap the felt soles for rubber - felt soles will be banned from 1 October. This is the reason I have gone for the Korkers Outfitters, my other boots all have felt soles, but I now have boots that allow me to swap the soles as required. To give more grip in the water I also purchased a pair of the Studded Aquastealth soles. The boots themselves are great, more like a hiking boot, in fact feel a lot like my more expensive wading boots. I also bought a pair of Wetlands for my girlfriend and she loves them. Good boots at a good price - great stuff!

By Flyfishin Babe from Columbus, OH on 07/30/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Good Grip Describe Yourself: Beginner Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I recently took up fly fishing and started by using my boyfriend's boots. I wear a men's size 5, but his boots were size 11. YES, I looked and felt like Bozo the clown. Definitely having the right size boot makes a HUGE difference when trying to navigate to a choice spot in a fast moving river. But I have to say that these Korkers give me the confidence that at 5'2" and a little over 100 pounds, I'm not going to be swept downstream. They are just heavy enough to allow my feet to feel firmly secure either on the rocks or in the sand. GREAT BOOTS and the prices here are unbelievable!
Love the Omnitrax quick change system! By VTSEAL from Southeastern PA on 07/22/2008 Pros: Durable, Easy to swap soles, Good Grip Best Uses: Fly Fishing, Freshwater Fishing, Saltwater Fishing Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Korkers are a handy wading boot because of their versatility. I'm sure there are other brands that are more comfortable, or dry faster or whatever. But I haven't seen anything more versatile for the types of fishing I do than Korkers.
Like to fish in both freshwater streams w/ mossy rocks and treacherous saltwater jetties? Easily switch from felt soles, to the studded felt soles...
Have a long trail hike in to the best fishing spots for mountain trout? Then switch from the rubber lugged sole to the felts when you reach the stream...
Only disadvantage is that the boots could be built a little more rugged. I feel wading boots should be built like a tank, to withstand rough use. They hook eyes for the lacing are weak and bend easily, and had a little de-lamination on the toe protector and heel cap after a couple seasons. Unless you're a guide using them every day, you should easily get a few seasons out of them.
This season they just came out with a beefier Guide version, so looks like they're addressing that if you're tough on boots.
But overall they're not expensive relative to competing products and WAY more versatile, so I highly reccomend them.
