I bought a pair of Nokian rubber boots with carbide studs this year for the breachway, and they have worked out very well. Each boot takes 35 studs - I was worried at first, because I lost about 6 studs after walking in the driveway immediately after putting the studs in -- but no more have fallen out since (I dont think I had them in tight enough, they wedge in). These boots are light and don't get in my way like Korkers do. I find the Korkers somewhat bulky and clumsy, and the last straw was when I amost broke my neck when one of the tag ends from the straps came loose and I stepped on it with the other foot. These are only knee-highs, I wear them with bib pants. The studs aren't as large as Korkers, so they may not work as well on heavy weed.
