Jim, that is exactly what I use - the Korkers Outfitter boots. I put the SS screws through both the felt bottom soles and the Aquastealth soles. They both work great. Very "sticky" on the rocks. I did the same to a pair of the Orvis Convertible wading boots as well this year.

You guys doin it with the heads down or the screws themselves down?

Was thinking about modifying my north country saco river boots (jungle boots) like this.

Screws down through the soles with the nuts cranked up tightly into the felt or Aquastealth, & the felt or Aquastealth material acts like lock washers to keep the nuts secure.

By the way, the credit to this idea goes to DZ in his old thread about how to modify regular Korkers. I just took that idea and used it on these convertible soled boots.
