PAV Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I just got some but have yet to try them. My old Korkers Guides finaly packed in after 3 hard years so I expect the Chrome to be as good and hopefully better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miked Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Have never owned a pair of Korkers but have been seeing a lot of good things on the new chromes and metalheads. I actually have a pair of metalheads on hold for me at fishtales that I will be picking up next week! Cant wait to give em a try.

seby Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I have the Chrome Korkers too, great boot, very durable, nice racheting system, and the interchangeable soles have come in handy in a variety of stream bottoms. Its a good buy, a bit pricey, but should last a while. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraserN Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I may get a pair. My current pair of korkers are so badly worn out, I have to repair them after each trip. They lasted 2 years before falling part. But I like the fact that they are so light, and the interchangeable soles have worked really well for me. I just wish they were more durable.

Guest Grinr Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Have Korkers greatly improved in quality recently or something?No personal experience with them myself,but I would guess this thread is the first time I've ever seen a generally positive review of them?Most everything I've ever read about them is praise of the innovative multi sole design but complaints in regards to the quality and durability?

Birddog Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Pulled the trigger on a new pair of Korkers Chrome today, used them this am on the water, had an older pair of korkers for 3 years but worn them out, great improvement in the ankle support and really a lite boot also, great lacing system very happy.

miked Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Picked up a pair of the metalheads on Wednesday. Fished in them Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I absolutely love them! Very comfortabe boot and super easy to put on and take off. the grippy rubber sole is not the greatest I found but few of them are and hey its easy to switch them out! Obviously cant speak to durability yet but so far I absolutely love them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snuffy Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Have Korkers greatly improved in quality recently or something?No personal experience with them myself,but I would guess this thread is the first time I've ever seen a generally positive review of them?Most everything I've ever read about them is praise of the innovative multi sole design but complaints in regards to the quality and durability? They took out the plethora of mesh vents on the upper, which was where mine fell apart after 2 years. Also, the new sole is full width and easier to change. It should offer better grip with the felt soles because of the increased felt area. I selfishly hope that they are more durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
