I bought a pair from Joe Lyons last year. The best money I spent all year. When you are on the thick rock weed you just have to brush it away so you can get down to the rock. I have not slipped yet..

I just bout always wear em at the canal unless the tide is up there pretty good and its just for a little while. I have the 1000's and they work great, after 6 hours it sure feels good to take em off though. I got 2 pairs on ebay brand new 25 bucks, lightley used 15. I lost my last keepr of the year in Ct because i didnt wear them and slipped on the rocks while reaching for my fish  I second the advice to call joe, i got my studs and tool in 2 days, bout crapped when ups dude showed up. |
Everything is better on the rocks.

Aluminum cleats
Jesus at least I get a half a season out of carbide, I'd get a night out of aluminum. Go with Korkers New style is a little safer (no more screwing the heal to your boot)

Since I don't care what the hell I look like I duct tape my korkers to my wader boot. 3 times around and they stay on for about 5 or 6 nights without having to retape. Eliminates the need to screw the heels down.  |
No boat, back in the suds.

Same here. I tape one set to a pair of Lacrosse knee boots for the rocks. Since I don't wade in them, the tape holds quite awhile
I still managed to lose a Korker once, even tho I had 5 wraps around my wader boot, in the weed bowl near Scott's at Montauk 
I'd say buy the old style lace-ups and duct tape them. I had one pair of the sandal style and they didn't last any longer than the lace-ups, and still needed duct tape to feel totally secure. |

I did the "DZ retrofit" this year and I'm more than happy with it. A buddy of mine put me on to this and I've never felt more stable in the water, having no problems slipping and sliding in the river current. Just be careful, there's a greater chance of ripping into your waders with there...I found that out the first time out.
