KorkersGreenback Wading Boots - Packed with the Essentials - Includes Interchangeable Felt and Kling-On Soles

awesome boots, very comfortable. I have used several boots before, but these have been the msot comfortable, and I love the interchangable bottoms. Perfect for crossing waters in states!Fits as expected, ordered 1 size up and they are perfect!

These are for a trek up a river above the Arctic circle in the Yukon. They are super durable, fit well and come with extra set of felt soles for river rock environments. Walking in water will be safer - and the boots drain fast. The big test will be five mile hike up the river - will report back! - stay tuned.

Very comfortable boots and fit correctly. Refer to the Korkers website. I am a size 9.5 and size 10 boots fit fine with stocking foot waders. Being able to change the sole from felt to rubber is awesome and you only need 1 pair of boots. Very lightweight, I was suprised by how light they actually are. They are also getting more comfortable as they break in and soften up a little.

I went back and forth between a 5 star and 4 start rating. Great boot, very good design, lightweight, and great price. They also drain quickly, which is nice. The felt is good - nothing magic though - about as grippy as my last pair of felt-soled boots, perhaps slightly better. And they seemed to get less gravel and sand in them than my last pair (my current waders don't have gravel guards). I've yet to try the rubber soles. I'm looking forward to seeing how they wear after several trips. Frankly, the construction is probably not as bombproof as other boots, but that's fine with me - it makes them lighter (less fatigue). The construction is more "meshy" than "leathery." If fact, I think it's all synthetic construction. These boots are easier to put on than my last pair (my leather Simms Freestone wading boots were stiff as a board and needed to be pre-soaked). Also, of course, it's a huge plus to be able to fish in States that have banned felt - a great selling point.Taking the soles OFF is pretty easy, but I found that putting the soles back on did indeed take some doing, as I believe another reviewer noted. Maybe I don't have the right technique, but I found it sometimes difficult (but always doable) to get the "snaps" on the periphery to click into place. Some sort of plastic lever may help. So 1/2 star could be deducted here.Note that there are also removable insoles inside the boots, which I didn't expect but is a nice little feature (easier to clean and dry and can be replaced if they wear down, or if you have high arches I'm sure you could use a custom insole).As for sizing, I usually wear a size 8 and I ordered a size 8. The fit is right on with standard neoprene-foot waders. I wouldn't want it any more snug, though.If "heel lift" annoys you, I noticed that there is noticeable heel lift compared with all my other current footwear. This was remedied somewhat by tightening the laces more. It did not bother me at all while fishing. So 1/2 star could be deducted here.

I love these boots! Great soles for a hike in and then swap over to the felt bottoms. Once the felt bottoms are on, you can hop around on the slickest of rocks. The only problem I have had is when I forgot that I didn’t have these boots on and took a big jump, but that was my fault, but the boots!

These boots were well worth the investment. Took them wading all day for the first time and they were extremely comfortable, moved in the water great, and stuck to the rocks extremely well. Would recommend. Hoping they will last long term now. As this is a short term review.

These Boots look to be Durable and are Very Light.... They also give me the ability to change from Rubber to Felt sole, which is a plus..I have an older pair of Korkers that held up very good.. Got multiple Seasons out of them.

Fit was great and having two "soles" is great. We will see how they hold up.

I bought these 6 months ago so they have had alot of use before i reviewed them. They deserve all of the five stars. I have put these boots through hell and back and not a thing is wrong with them. You would have thought the removable system would be dangerously susceptible to breakage, BUT of your smart and know your terrain you dont have to switch them every trip out, as most fishermen know felt can be used everywhere you go to fish wether its sand to mud or rocks...but WOW is it nice to have hiker treads to snap on quickly when you really need them, get these and you will not be dissapointed.

So sick.... love them

GRATE BOOT SO FAR SO GOOD!!

Would be 5 stars for boot quality alone, but: I ordered size 12 Greenbacks, but received size 11 Buckskins. The size 11 Buckskins fit, and may even be better quality than the Greenbacks, but they do not have the gravel guard loop on the tongue, which is specifically why I ordered the Greenbacks.

well for one thing , they are small , even went 1 size over normal .2 . they are not as good as described . The interchangeable soles are way to stiff and dont clip well .
