    Default Korkers

    Looking for a good pair, what should I buy? Found this article, sure would like some recommended brands to look into.

    Corkers-Corkers are sandals with spikes on the bottom and straps that can be worn over the top of
    wader shoes. Corkers provide a great deal of added traction in slimy, boulder filled waters.
    Considered a little heavy by some they are an invaluable piece of footgear if you spend any amount of
    time in that kind of environment. The spikes are replaceable. Some anglers will even drive small
    round-headed screws into the bottom of their waders to provide a similar effect.

    The new official Korkers 5000 series supposably has nore studs than the older ones, they're a good deal for around $50-60.

    After awhile, the laces and straps could wear from high usage, so there is a higher end model replacable brass studs, and tube like straps instead of the old straps, around $100.

    Depends on how many times youll be using them.

    I'm looking into my first pair of korkers. Just wondering if the strap on's are better than the boots. I saw some streamborn boots but there are no studs on the toes. Thought maybe the strap-ons might be better.

    Default new korkers

    Tried my new korkers yesterday. Got them at cabalas at the end of the season last year. I think I paid around $80 for them. What a big difference. I am so .
