Alternative to Korkers...

[Pete F.]

John,
I probably outweigh those guys by 50-75 #s @ 230. I have torn out some studs and rolled some. Some of this is due to my boots, LLbean rivertreads, but I think it is also pounds per stud. Mine are wearbars. All that said I still like them better than Korkers and will not go back. The simms boots that I looked at have stiffer soles and should have less roll problems.

I think that the heavier you are, the more studs you should put on each boot... I have 22 studs per foot, but if you think about it, you are actually only in contact with a few at a time... so more spikes will help distribute your weight better, while sharing the load... it is important to note that I weigh 175 geared up
