question about wading boots

[pmueller]

Just switched to stockingfoot also. Although I've used them only once, I sorta liike the idea behind the Korker boots. Basically, the boot bottom changes out, its an insert. There are all types of inserts. One is a Korker/studd style, another is felt sole, another is boat shoe, and another is a hiking sole.. Although it sounds like a great idea, I am concernced alittle about the inserts breaking down.
Picked them up in my area at North Cove Outfitters in Old Saybrook.
The shoes themselves feel more stable, walking over rocks should be better than a regular boot.

those seem like a very good idea, but it should be for $130. although if they last, it's worth the price.
I just picked up the $60 pair at Cabelas so I'll let you guys know how they work out. I like the regular sandal-style korkers, I do the stainless steel screw thing to replace the spikes and it's worked out well for me.

I've been testing the Streamborn boots for about 2 months now.
I've been beating the living hell out of the hiking, felt, and studded felt soles and they're definitely solid.
I had one slight issue but it was resolved by Korkers very very quickly.

Studded felt is thee sole for the ditch.

BOA is redesigning the reel system (both for ski/snowboard and these) to be more resistant to sand/ice.
I've had issues with both the Guide Boots and a pair of high end snowboard boots that would seize up the reel system.
I'll switch to them on the redesign.

I picked up a pair of korkers cross currents and got the studded inserts for them. I've only used them a couple times so far, but they are GREAT. If they hold up long term, I'll be really happy with that purchase.
