Jim,
If you let the stainless bolts and nuts wear too long you may need to use a vice grip to hold the nut while you back out the screw. On rare occasions I've had to hacksaw the bolt off for replacement. Use 3/4 inch stainless pan head screws and some washers to keep them from pulling through the korker sandal. I don't use lock nuts - after each outing I re-tighten any nuts that have loosened. Use re-enforced flexible garden hose to make your straps. Cut the garden hose length wise around 6 inches long. Fold to make a loop(where your lace passes through) and attach the hose using some of the existing korker holes or drill out some new holes in the sandal. The garden hose straps last for years.
