Korkers ?

[Kierran]

He already chewed through a pair of Korker boots this past season, no? I would get him the lightest LL Bean wading boots and punch in sheetmetal screws or wearbars to the rubber soles. That way when he beats this pair up, at least he can get a new one for nothing through their unbeatable warranty. Just my two cents.

Here is a thread on the Wearbars and Cabelas Ultralite: http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...e-korkers.html

Not sure how good they are for swimming - thought they are light - but you can see more detail on the Wearbars used with another boot / system
