I think it really depends on your needs.
Korkers are the only things I trust when I'm walk down to land a fish below the high water mark. They're the only things that give a relatively good grip on the black growth that's as slick as ice down there.
I don't like using Korkers to walk over cobble or bowling ball rocks. Too much risk of catching a stud and twisting an ankle. Wading boots with good ankle support would probably be better than my bootfoot waders with felt, but I use what I have.
I don't like wearing Korkers on the Canal--again, the uneven rip-rap presents a risk of twisting or even spraining an ankle if I catch a spike. The only places they're useful is where you have to stand on bubble weed to cast, like the dolphins.
Important thing to keep in mind---your footwear is only insurance, not a guarantee. Korkers assist traction, they don't guarantee it.
