I fish the rocks a lot (over 90 nights this year) and prefer the old style korker sandles with one modification. I use wire ties and duct tape to keep them on. I probably need to retape 3 or 4 times a season. I don't trust the laces alone. I also replace any worn down studs. You can buy a bag of 60 replacement studs from
www.korkers.com for 18.99. Just punch out the worn ones and bang in the replacements.
I am sure the felt and stud soles are great. I just wear them out too quickly.
