...FishPart, I have thought about something like that....

...my concern was the size of the head of the screw. The closer I can keep the sole down the better. Check the diagram to see what I mean. If I went with the screw, I would think that the area where the screw was inserted wouldn't have as much of good seal as it would if I used the nail. (It wouldn't sit as good). I've thought about maybe 'boring' out the area on the sole where the screw would go, just so that it fit more snugly, but why ??...If I can probably just use a nail....

...I know the screw would eventually make a home in the sole, but would it effect the application at the time, not allowing the sole to completely rest on the wader due to the size of the head?

.....:smash: ...if you can understand that....

Goose going back one more page I see you are looking for Korkers. We have a couple of board sponsors who I am sure have Korkers even if they don't show up in the online stores. It's worth a call.

I don't buy much but when I do I like to support our sponsors.

EXCELLENT POINT FISHPART!!.....;)...GGGGGGreat Idea!!

I'm glad you liked Bloo - Obviously made with you in mind....

Couple things to consider on your korker modification...

Any nails or screws you use could potentially corrode on top, round, snap off or wear away the head of the nail or screw, and eventually go up from the sole, through the bottom of your shoe and into your foot.

Some people have used larger headed bolts or screws to do the same thing as they'll be less susceptible to getting a second pointy end...

Another thing to keep in mind, a good cobbler may be able to trim the sides and permanantly affix those to your wader boots if you wanted...

John, the bottom of page 273 starts the story....;)

bloocrab 02-28-2002 09:09 AM

...by the way, what kind do you own??...the sandal, I imagine.

...do you have any "WAR" stories about sandals you'd like to share?.....Or have they never failed you?....

....this is directed only to the person who plans on answering it!...:happy: :laughs: ;)

A family took their frail, elderly mother to a nursing home
and left her, hoping she would be well cared for.
The next morning, the nurses bathed her, fed her a
tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair at a
window overlooking a lovely flower garden.

She seemed okay, but after a while she slowly
started to tilt sideways in her chair. Two attentive
nurses immediately rushed up to
catch her and straighten her up.
Again she seemed okay, but after a while she slowly
started to tilt over to her other side. The nurses
rushed back and once more brought her
back upright. This went on all morning.


Later, the family arrived to see how the old
woman was adjusting to her new home.
"So Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?"
"It's pretty nice," she replied.
"Except they won't let me fart."
