Default Korkers Guide soles

Evening all, I have just purchased a set of the above and was wondering if anyone has "studded" the supplied rubber sole?
They come with both studded felt and standard rubber treads- which will be lethal on the rock
Measured a Simms Hardbite stud- and they are too long, any suggestions?
Thanks all.

Ade.

You can buy studded klingon guide soles. Can't see how you'd stud the non-studded version, too thin. $US35ish but Guide model on close out so check US ebay.

Hi Ade, I have these boots and failed to get studded soles in this country. [try Fishtec] I ended up buying some from the USA, cost me about £35 including post and taxes etc. I think there is a new version of Korkers out now with a different sole fitting so be careful. I think there is a UK distributer but dont know who it is.

Thanks guy's, they have been discontinued and it looks like Ebay USA is going to be the best bet!

The distributer for these is Fordham and Wakefield but I would not bother going through them because I waited 6 months to be told they did not have any.

I ended up buying them from the good old USA.

ditto!
I recently got mine from flyfishusa, but their policy is to send via Int. Express which works out to be $36 postage! Vat and PP fees means you pay more in extras than you do the product. I would try and see if they would send normal air mail which would work out cheaper, and also likely come in under the import duty radar.

Cheers
