Anybody Ever Break A Korker K-5000 Buckle?

I always have a few cable ties in the truck for just such a breakdown and since I don't take korkers off my boots the cable ties are still there and doing the job 2 years later.

Wader boots...

What, you finally got rid of the low black Chuck Taylors...

Hey, I've had more problems with those ladies-style K-1000's coming loose - once I got the K-5K's I never looked back - although I still have a pair for back-ups

I switched to the less expensive models myself. If you wet the laces and tie them with the ball of your foot pressed up against a curb or a rock (so your foot bends back a little) you get a much better knot set. Still, I'm surprised that anything a fat fisherman wears on his feet while jumping on rocks works at all.
