Korkers are prefferable but not neccessary for all spots. The nice thing about Rhody is that you run from pure structure to structure mixed with beach. Especially down South County (SW end of Rhody)
Places which really require Korkers are Naps, Watch Hill, the Breachways, and some of the rock piles dotting the shoreline. Places like Hazard Ave and Newton Ave aren't necessarily safe even WITH Korkers but we'll be avoiding that area...
Felts soles are not as good as Korkers I'm told. I have not used them myself but that is the opinion that others that have used both...
