I am clumsey to start out . With korkers I'm worst! Which is probably why I don't use them. Plus they are pretty heavy. I fish some pretty wild spots and really have had no problems sans korkers.

Yes, I agree they are kinda awkward but I guess I got used to them. I feel frickin' naked without them now.

think about bowling shoes, because most of the shoreline there is covered with bowling ball size rocks, something with good ankle support is highly recommended. water and traveling light is key

Just a comment on water. This year I started using a Camelback for spots that require some walking. It holds 50 oz of water, and you never know it's there. It's much more convenient than trying to stuff a water bottle somewhere.

You guys who walk far really need to check these out.

Korkers certainly make me much less nimble. Studded felts are the best on a nice solid boot. Korkers only come out when I know there's some deep weed, but that's really not all that often.

I can't deal with korkers...they make me fall...I feel like Frankenstein walking with them on...the areas I fish locally are rocky and find felt is fine
