Wading boot selection problem

Bill I've not tried the Korkers, but have the Orvis boots which might
Bill be equivalent, the Henry's Fork Convertibles. They have been
Bill very good for me, and I do a lot of hiking in wearing just these
Bill boots, then putting on the waders at the stream, and then the
Bill shoes again coming back.

Hi Bill,

These look like nice boots. I have one question though: can these be
used without any of the listed soles? I am asking this because the
boots seem to have felt soles, studded felt soles and studded rubber
soles, but for getting to the stream (using public transportation)
ordinary rubber soles without studs would be preferred.

Hi Jarmo,

The shoes come with a rubbery deal, with little rubber studs and are
quite good for hiking, although the rubber "studs" quickly wear out on
rocks etc. if you hike much (which is good for public transportation -
they're just a flat rubber sole in a bit...). The thing I like is you
can buy the felt and the studded felts separately, and you can even get
replacement rubber soles if you like the rubber studs. I don't think
I'd wear them without any of the inset soles,though, as you'd get crap
in the little threaded holes that the inserts sit in.
