I was going to put this in the sponsors specials, but it's more info then advertising, for the most part.
In response to studs falling out Korkers has increased the durometer of the rubber used in the push-in stud Korkers. Hopefully this will solve what has become a fairly common problem.
There is also a new/old model which has 32 push-in studs per foot versus the 20 seen in the lace up model most everyone has been carrying for the past few years. I know my old Korkers (5+ years ago) lasted a lot longer, had more studs (which didn't fall out as much), and better traction then the current lace up model. I'm not sure if it was just the build quality or the fact that my weight was distributed better over more studs. Time will tell...
As far as I know there is no update to the buckle style.
Effective later this week when our order arrives all Korkers we sell will be '06 spec and we will carry all 3 models; the K-5000 (buckle style), the K1100+ (32 studs per foot), and the K1100 (20 studs).
