I just got my Orvis catalog in the mail and I saw that they now have a set of boot treads that look pretty much like Korkers for $59.

Anybody know anything about them? The last pair of Korkers I bought were the K5000 buckle type which I don't like - I stil prefer the lace ups. Found my old pair in my tackle room the other night and might do a retread on them with stainless steel screws instead of the spikes.

Sounds like the QC on Korkers is worse than ever - anybody got any ideas? I wear Korkers about 95% of the time when I go out.
