After almost falling off a rock at the canal last week, and getting some advice from tynan19 to finally get some korkers. I was wondering if anyone knew the best kind to get? I'm willing to pay more for better quality and durabilty, than getting a cheap pair. I have an old pair of hodge man waders with the rubber boots.
I think I'll probably be better off not only at the canal but also the rocky shores of the Squibnocket and Stonewall beach down on the vineyard, where I almost lost a nice a fish last fall because I fell over and filled my waders full of water.
Joe Lyons, surfacstingri he's a sponser; I've gotten them from him a few times in the past...

I like these too. Super lightweight and less clunky, I dont stumble as much walking like with Korkers. Great on jetties and cliffs. Only drawback is on sand, where they fill up quickly. I drilled a bunch of large holes on the bottom, hopefully it will drain sand easier. I stick to Korkers for really tough, cobble and boulder terrain.
I find the small spikes w/felt in my boots much better on bare rocks than Korkers, which I still use in the weed. If you do fish rocky/weedy areas, get something with long spikes like the K-5000's.
I don't wanna hijack this thread but is there anyone around the Canal that carries Korkers? I want to fit them to my boots and get a good look before I buy. Seems like most people like them and I have a bad tendency of falling off rocks
