I could never understand why guys where them type korkers with the risk you looseing them or having to sock them down so tight that there uncomfortable. I don't know..it just looks like a pain in the a$$. There are so many good qaulity korked boots to pick from with better support and replacable korked soles,,,try it I'm sure you'll like it. spend the extra money..like any thing else> u get what u pay 4

I want suggestions, I'm sick of falling on my a$$, and I hate tying Korkers on like you said, but I'm cheap...

I'm useing the Henery Forks(Orvis)w/studded soles. They have excellent support but they take a few trips before the studds protrude and become aggrreessiivve. You really can't go wrong with replacable studded soles for about 25$

I am puzzled. I buy a 3 dollar roll of duct tape a year. I tie my Korkers on and then 3 wraps of duct tape. They never fall off. I replace the tape every couple of weeks and I am on the rocks almost every night. Has worked for me for about 10 or 12 years after I lost a Korker at Deep Hole.

No boat, back in the suds.

On the wet rock studded boots are fine but on the big high dry granite rocks we have here they will land u on ur butt big time.I have been usin the hodgeman korkers an they been holding up pretty well so far.I kinda change the laces an the pull down configuration.They are great for the big weed rocks also as the studs sit in a little bump on the bottom of the korker to kinda elevate them (make the studs longer to cut through the weed)
