Then, put the insert back on the boot and we drilled right through the boot down through the insert to basically screw the insert to the boot...otherwise it does pop off from time to time..

best set-up i've used or seen yet


the key that decksweeper and I found out ( the hard way , is to lock the insert into the boot with a 1 1/4 " screw, right through the innersole and the felt as well

this setup allows the advantages of korkers with the lightweight feel of wearing just felt bottom boots
