I guess I should mention they are stocking foot waders. My "wading boots" are Target's finest $20 canvas hiking boots. I remove all the
sole inserts, drilled 8-10 holes and bolted the Korker to the shoes. I doubt screws would work w/o laces etc. I'm not 100% convinced the bolts won't pull out. We'll see.

Also I cut the back off the korker, as well as the laces straps, etc.

I also replaced the carbide spikes w/ss bolts. I'm around 200lb w/o gear and I jump around the rocks pretty hard. I was replacing 3-4 rounded spikes/shoe a trip. Not the end of the world, but it gets old after a while.
