Went shopping for korkers the other day and noticed there are 2 types. One with straps and buckle and the other (samebrand) with laces. Is there a difference or just a peasonal preference. I likes the buckle and strap ones myself. Any feedback would be great. Thanks

the laced ones have push in carbide tips and the buckles have screw in carbide tips...the buckles seem to have a little more flexability and also im my opinion secure to your foot better..ive gone out without duct tape on them many times with no issues...

I have both and actually I just bought the K1100plus today. The buckle ones IMHO don't have the amount of studs necessary to maneuver. Yes you can walk on flat jetties. But if you need to climb on rocks, the K1100plus have 58 studs. I do like the weight of the K5000s though. They keep you firmly planted. I still taped up the buckle on my 5000s because sometimes they would slip open. I'm gonna try out my new 1100s Tuesday at THE END. Hope that was helpful...

JH in bohemia Call first they had them yesterday but not all sizes

J+H had the 1100 plus in several sizes. I took advice from the posts and then tried them on. I went with the 1100 plus. I felt the strap ones were a bit heavy and clunky, since I have a 13 in foot. The sandle type had more gripping surface and were much lighter. Since I will be taping them regardless went with the sandle.

Check out the new guide boot from korkers

It has a dial tight knob like a ski boot and fits like a fly fishing boot. Soles can be interchanged for various conditions. One sole is a rubber sole with carbide tips. I like them for when the water is warm enough for fishing in shorts. You can also wear them with sock waders but you should order them a size bigger if you are going to use the guide boots that way. Only down side about the boot style korkers is that the insides can wear fairly quickly if you get sand in them a lot.

the boots are a great concept but lack one major thing...there no stud in the front by your big toe....this makes climbing on a rock an pain, and sometimes painfull expirence

I use Korkers Cross Current shoes with interchangable soles.They cost as much as 5000k which makes little sense. Once you put these on once, you'll never go back to slip on Korkers

korkers

I have had the laced korkers for 3 years and im about to buy the strap model. The laced korkers seem to shift(no matter how tight i lace,how many zip ties i use or duct tape) on my boot and can get really annoying out there. My advice, spend the few extra bucks and go for the strap korkers..

I use the strap model on my waders as they are easy to take on and off. I do zero rock hoping in waders so I do not bother taping em on. When I wetsuit, I wear the Cross Current boots. I modified them by puting a few dozen ss screws through the felt soles and then screwed the felt soles to the boots. Don't believe that locking technology crap, they failed me once, now they are permanent.
Very comfortable and light weight.
