I am bout the same size I go thru korkers like water.I like the galadiators they hold up better.i need the carbide studs where i fish.the big granite slabs are like ice with the stainless replacement type.The Gladiators come with a shoelace an some bs plastic thing.throw that away an get a thicker longer lace to go around the boot an tie off.I plan on getting some of these some day they look great.
