OK, I did enough rock-hopping and slipp'n and slide'n last season that I am ready to buy my first pair of Korkers. However, I have read LOTS of negative reviews on them, reports of losing the studs after only a couple of heavy uses, crappy straps, etc...

I will publicly admit here that towards the end of last season I put some screws through the soles of an old pair of sneakers and it worked pretty well but I did not place every screw in the "ideal" place and suffered a bit (ouch).

My question to all of you seasoned Korker-Wearers: Are Korkers worth the $90, do they in your experience fall apart quickly and has anyone ever modified them or like my cheap-o self, attempted to make their own?
