Studded Felts
The studded felts from Korkers are an excellent value and will save you from needing to use Korkers a significant percentage of your fishing time.
They are cheap, light and the studs last a long time. I'm surprised that people have not gravitated more to them. They are all you need at the breachways. Its about a one hour project before and after the glue sets. Take note of the studs they use - they are a unibody and galvanized with a wide base, they stick well to the sole of the felt they are applied to.

At 250 lbs I blow thru the old korkers i mean i would loose 3 spikes in the first night.i have found the gladiator sandals buy hodgeman hold up alot better It all depends on the terrain.them boots from LL bean Nebe wheres are nice in the head size bolders an the sandstone like granite of RI.They have a lower profile so u don't roll as much when u walk. on large granite jetty rocks them things can be dangerous.As well as the screw stud replacements.no good on big wet or even worse DRY jetty rock.U need the bite of carbide to keep ya from slipping.So i reccomend the galdiators an some kinda boot type studded shoe.I have a pair of chota's i'm gonna rig em up wit these.http://www.bergstromskegs.com/tg/tg_main.htm
