Corrugated Ten years ago, during a recon flight to map out the mountains around Haines, AK, this face captured my imagination and never let go of it. The more I searched the world’s mountains the more I realized how unique and special this face was. Because the peak was located just over the US boarder into Canada [...] […]

Be sure and check out the June issue of Field & Stream. There’s a great run down of various studded, rubber-sole fly fishing wading boots. We’re definitely a little biased towards the highlighted Korkers Guide Boot with Boa! Get rid of those wet, heavy, shoelaces that are always coming untied!

Yes, we all know the Boa Lacing System can out perform shoelaces during the most demanding situations. However, using Boa as an addition to your overall dating and pick-up strategy? Well this was a first. We’re not claiming this as an official feature & benefit…yet!

Now this is a great way to start 2010 (well…we still have a few days left). The Korkers Guide fly fishing boot featuring the Boa Lacing System was just named Best of Boot Category for 2010 in the Fly Fisherman Magazine Gear Guide 2010. Congrats Korkers!

The Boa Lacing System-already popular in snowboard and ice-climbing boots – lets you dial up the tension for the best fit. Pull the dial for a quick release. Standard laces can break, carry aquatic nuisances, come untied, and they are a pain when wet and frozen. The Boa system uses stainless-steel wire that is easy to clean and nearly unbreakable.
The Korkers Guide Wading Boot is the best wading boot on the market! The BOA Lacing System means your laces never come undone. These boots are light enough to wear all day everyday for 7 days like I just did on the Deschutes in Oregon. They are also durable and have great ankle support. They stand up to scrambling around on rocks and charging up scree.
The other feature of these boots that I love are the interchangeable soles. There is studded rubber for tough rivers like the Umpqua or a hiking sole for a long walk or studded felt for average trout streams. Of course Korkers has released a sole that is purported to limit invasive species transport called “Kling-on”. My fishing partner Jim reports they perform well on rocks too! Check these out at www.korkers.com and get a pair with a few soles. You will sell your old boots at a garage sale this summer.

Meet the newest addition to the Korkers family, the Predator Boot at $149.99. A durable product, the Predator Boot provides advanced support features like the innovative Boa Lacing System. This unique lacing system boasts a mechanical advantage over regular laces. With a turn of a reel you are equipped with increased closure, performance fit, and quick on and off access. “With Boa lacing technology, we have clearly set Korkers apart from the competition,” said Korkers Director of Sales Brian Chaney. The Predator Boot is the boot for the fisherman who wants an alternative to our “Sportsman Series” interchangeable soles wading boots. We have installed a felt fixed sole with accessory screw-in cleats that can be added to provide extra bite as needed.
