I've read all the hype on korkers and yes I know from experience how slippery wet rocks can get, but then again 75% of the time I'm casting to them from the comfort of my boat
. Then again, I'm spending more time on shore now and figure that it might be time. I've also read some of the posts about how quickly they can fall apart, so I'm curious if something I saw in the Auto Sport mail order catalog might be a viable alternative. They are called Stabil-Icers, designed in Maine if you believe the story, 34 steel cleats around the perimeter of a vibram sole and a velcro strap at the toe and one that goes from the heal up around the angle. They are only $49 or if you buy a slip on flexible sport model for only $39. I doubt the sport model would be worth while with the ristrictions of fit, unless you used it during the summer months for going over sneakers or lighter hiking boots. Curious if anyone has used them, plus what other althernatives might be available.
