The only "problem" I've had, maybe 5 times in 2 + years of use, is if you don't make sure the soles are tightly locked into the front of the boot & velcroed tightly in the back, on bolling ball type rocky terrain the sole may pop off the boot. This is when walking on these types of rocks and having the soles bend alot on the rocks. Again, as long as they are on tight it should not happen.

I've been using the Orvis Convertible boots also this year and those soles are locked in tighter with screws, so they can't pop off.

Still the best bet in my opinion. Not as clumsy as Korkers with all the traction from the screws.
