Thanks Kevin

Just call him up he's a real nice guy.Order size 12x 1/2".I add em in other spots if u have the ones that take the studs.Look at ur boots an put em in the heavy wear area's they take em fine.Get a hex driver for a screw gun go on a light setting so u don't strip em.
Tell Him Tony from NJ sent ya..

I dont know what the chota boot is, so i cant really picture how you have them attached. Im probably gonna shoot for fifteen or so spikes on each foot. I appreciate the help. Ive had too many "close calls" where i almost fell and ate rock to mess around with going half ass on spikes. I heard some guy got washed off of my favorite jetty a few days ago...................

U have to have the rubber soled boots.Some of the new type breathable waders have a very light thin felt sole u might puncture them thru.simms rubber soles are pretty substaintial.they will take em no problem.I would go size 12 x 3/8.
The other link has spikes that u can use on korkers.With backing nuts..
Bill Says they are pretty durable.

My two cents go to Korkers also. The 1100's that you lace yourself and the newer ones that are out. I think they call them Korker's Plus as they have a couple more studs on them. I got a new pair of them this year, right here, at the saltwater's edge. Order by mid afternoon and they are at your door the next day, guaranteed.
