Kicked up Korkers...
As I was modding my Korkers w/SS screws... I had the brain storm (well drizzle), to just go ahead and bolt the Korkers to my shoes. Hell I can count on one hand the times I DON'T use Korkers in a season. Used them once so far in fresh water. I'm thinkin' I'm going to like this. No laces, no slipping sandal. We'll see how well they hold up, or hold on I should say.

Let me know if they don't work. I have an old pair of metal spiked golf shoes ready for the dumpster. I think they are nubuck brown, size 11. Oh yeah, you can have them for zippo.  |

J,
Some of the gang use to wrap the korkers on their boots with wire ties and never take them off. Pain in the A... if your doing much driving in your gear or going from rocks to sand beach and back. The wire ties were also insurance to keep them from falling off.
Good luck with your endeavor.

I don't think baseball cleats would work. The spikes are too broad, and the space in the midsole without any spikes is too large. I'm even reluctant to use anything but the tungsten spikes. There's too much at stake.
I have the korkers with the snaps and have never had a snap release. Do you guys have trouble loosing these or the ones with the laces?
I like to walk to the spot with them off to preserve the tips a little. Especially in some spots where there's a lot of walking over rocks or roads.
