check out korkers website

torent for wetsuiting (sneaker type)

ultra light for waders (boot type)

both have interchangable soles to go from felt to felt studded to traditional korker studs

light and bulletproof

used them last year and absolutely loved them...


I believe the guys from the edge are using them as well....maybe Pete can chime in

I use the chota wading boots I like the fact that I can change out the studs as needed,I know you can do the same with the korkers as well. That to me is a plus.To me the korker sneaker would be better if you are swimming out far other wise I like the ankle support of the boots.

This is the problem I have to work out this winter ....again....too

I would NOT recommend the Cabela's ultralight wading boot. I do like the felt studded soles (little need for korkers)and they are light and comfortable with plenty of support, but they don't last. I had 2 pairs disintegrate on me this year and disappointingly Cabela's wouldn't warranty them cause they claimed that falling apart after 2 months constituted normal wear and tear cause I wore them almost everynight. The man made materials just didn't stand up to the salt ...Studs lasted very, very well though.
The Korkers sneakers are nice with the changebale soles, but I need ankle support. Can't chance rollin an ankle fishin by myself in remote places. The Boots look nice but I don't like how they don't have a stud more on the toe which I find I really need to help get out of the water and up on rocks.
There's never a perfect answer.

Toughen up and go barefoot like they did in the old days...don't worry, nobody will laugh at your webbed feet.

Just the opposite here.

My Cabelas Ultralight wading boots have lasted ever since the year they first intor'd them.Rinse in fresh water and hang them and let dry in a dry area.Best wading boot for the price imo.

I use the LLBean ultralight wading boot and I love them, lots of support and the spikes hold up really well. The only problem is the seems and stitching will wear quickly, at least in my case 5-6 nights a week. This caused me to go through two pairs last year, which isn't a problem with Bean's lifetime warranty.

If you are a size 11 I will sell you a brand new pair of the ultralight bean wading boots for $30. I "sold" them here awhile ago but the guy never followed through. Do a search and you'll find the pictures.

First thing I noticed when I first tried the korker boots.I was kind of uncomfortable with the Stud pattern.In NJ we do quite a bit of what I call "top of the mountain" trekking on the jetty's.Lots of our rockpiles have been redeposited from the surge of the ocean over the years turning em pointy sides up..This requires studs in the middle of the boot as a step on the rubber only will cause slippage and broken bones.I used Bergstom Skegs to fill a bunch of voids..I put four of em across the toes.I am going to try these.As they look like they will give ya a better bite.One other thing with the korker boots is ya have to constantly check the studs to be sure they are tight.Especially when walking over rocks for any distance.They have had the tendency to spin out on me.I do use a anti-seize product to keep em from locking up.This is a must as the sole will be rendered useless when the freeze up on ya and they are all worn down.Being over 250 lb they get worn down..
The ones in the pic are from a company called klymax studs..
I think you can get 48 pcs for about 50 bucks which ain't to bad..

Jim,

I got the torrents per your recommendation and think they're great. I did a little swimming with them last year and the sneaker style gives you much better flexibility to swim versus the boot.
