Thanks Rodney Great input, if I decide to get some stuuded soles, you have given me some food for thought. Jim

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.
