Jim, I've owned "Korkers" for SEVERAL years now and I've had absolutely no problem with them. I love em. I use the "studded felt" soles and I've used the same set of soles for going on two years now and I fish pretty much all year long up here on the San Juan River. Yes, the studs are getting a little on the worn side and I probably will break down and get a new set this fall, but they still do the trick and I've had no problem on "REALLY" slick, mossy rocks in some knee, to waist deep FAST water. I like the versatility of the interchangeable soles, to which I can change soles from hiking to and from the river, whereas non-interchangeable soles once they're worn out you have to purchase totally new boots.

The felts are great on slick/mossy rocks and the hiking soles do OK on gravel bottom. Also, switching out the felt to the hiking sole is neat for hikiing back to my fishing car. I've heard that the studs only last a short time, maybe a trip or two. They need to do some serious work on them before I'll buy a pair. That'ws why I got felt / hiking interchangeable soles.
