I got a whole box of replacement straps with buckles - I never got around to putting them up for sale and now I don't sell Korkers anymore. You can have one for free, come pick it up the next time you're dodging the bridge troll, or give me an address.

You, Joe, are the best... 
And I can pay you handsomely in old fish pictures, too... 
Check your PM's - thanks again, you may have saved an old codger from a helluva good spill on the rocks - I may zoom to the mainland this afternoon for a pick-up if you'll be around...  |

Had mine for three years and the only buckle problem was when I ran one over with my car. Called Korkers and they sent a replacement, actually two, for free. Their web page also list them for sale at a small cost.
They will also sell the studs at a reduced cost if you buy a large number.

haven't broken them but I've had them slide off and get lost, Walmart has straps and buckles in the camping section for about a buck or so....they are long straps so that you can replace the entire thing and even slide some rubber tube over the exposed section at the toe so that it won't wear...and I wrap the buckle ends crossed around the back of my ankle and then buckle them at the front of my ankle...they cannot come off when buckled that way...

Thanks, men - I took a ride across the Big Bridge to see Joe at Surfcasting Rhode Island and he squared me away with buckles - so I'm ready for night ops tonight.
Joe, thanks again - you're a lifesaver - literally...
Besides, I don't have anyone to leave all my tackle to if I did go over the side - and Mrs Crafty's second post ever would be in the S-B Classifieds...
