While I was suiting up the other night I walked a couple of feet and my right Korker started sliding off...went to snap the buckle and discovered it had broken...
WTF...given some of the spots around here that could literally be a fatal flaw, never have had that happen before.
I remembered I had an old pair in my tackle room, figured I'd take the old snap and buckle off that pair - it's a different snap - the old buckles were made by Fastex.
Also realized that the old Korkers had 2 sets of straps and buckles, one over the instep and one around the ankle...the newer pair I got just has one over the instep...
Anyway, anyone know where you might find replacement buckles for K-5000's?
My other option I guess would be retrofitting them with the straps and buckles from the old pair which involves getting a cobbler to sew the buckles to the webbing - there's gotta be a better fix than the bungee cord and duct tape I used that nite
