These look good. No instructions for changing soles, and internet search referred to tool that was not in box, but it looks like this relates to previous model. I did figure out how to change soles and the attachment seems solid.

I bought these boot because I fish on the banks of the Cape Cod Canal and need sturdy footwear to walk on the rip-rap. The support and comfort so far have proven to be worth price. I also got the boots on sale cheaper that any where else I could find.

These were my second pair of korkers, and I hear a lot of salty guys say korkers don't hold up all that well. Well, MINE DO. My first pair, of ten years now, is still in use as a wading boot in summer months. I fish about 20-30 times a year and my gear HAS TO WORK. Korkers do.

That being said... nothing beats korkers with the studded rubber sole on jetties. What a difference, I won't go one a rock jetty without those soles.

The k5 bomber: its a helluva boot.. maybe too much. It feels really stiff the first couple times out, but it will wear in quick and making walking easier. Out of the box they feel like ski boots. The lacing system on these is fantastic... the top guides are hook style guides like work boots so you can pop the laces out quick and get out of the boot so easily... and getting back in is a dream. The boot is marketed as extremely durable, and they seem very. I even like the drain system... water is expelled thru the bottom, making walking in and out of the light surf effortless.

Great boot! Would recommend!
