I just got a pair of these new boots with the twist lace system.

I love them. I have tried several of the soles and the Ti spikes last as long as any other korker spikes and they are easily replaceable. The only minor problem I had with them is in soft sand. I walked 2 miles in sand, fished and some sand did enter into the boot somehow and was uncomfortable. However I moved to a different spot and the sand exited somehow and it was fine. What is nice about the lacing system is how quick and easy it is to tighten or remove the boot. No laces to retie.

I bought all the soles just to try them. My favorite sole is the felt with the spikes.

I have not had the sole come apart from the boot (yet). They are pretty easy to swap out soles, they give you a little tool (something akin to a thin screwdriver) to help seat the sole in the shoe. It seems to work. I like them best for fishing in the rocks, don't waste your time for in the sand.
