If you wear breathable stuff under your waders, it is like fishing in your pajamas.. $425 stocking foot waders,,$175 boots .. but I don't own a boat and wife don't need fancy jewlery ..

I'm not a big fan of Korkers either. I rarely wear them and dread doing so. They cause as many accidents as they prevent. Stick with felt and studs.

Steve:
I respectfully disagree. I have worn Korkers for pretty much all my surf career (40+ years) and I am a fan of them. Now, I choose not to make a fashion statement and I duck tape my Korkers to my boots. Never have had them come loose. Never had a fall caused by the Korkers. To each his own but I swear by them.

So that is why you walk around like Frankenstein.. I get it now.

Korkers raise your center of gravity a full inch or 2.. unless your wading around at low tide in bubble weed, they as steve said can actually hurt you.. they dont bend easily and because of this they dont conform to rounded rocks...

to each his own I guess.
