Ty for the Video. Great job showing us how they work. I literally went to bed last night searching for shoes like these. Found them on Amazon and bass pro shop. Jack em up🤙🏽
Thanks for watching, glad you found the video helpful! We were doing the same research and there wasn't much info out there regarding shoes for the jetties. Most of the stuff out there was for streams and rivers.
@@miguelvaldez6837 we usually just wear Under Armour crew socks because they wick moisture away pretty well. If you wear neoprene socks in the summer they will get hot and if you do get wet it will hold in the water inside the socks.
Yes sir it sure will. Gonna start using the felt for the most part for now on. If there is a lot of green algae where I want to throw then I'll switch to the spikes. Thanks for watching and commenting Leroy!
@ronmarrone5722 we were walking on the Port Aransas South Jetty in Port Aransas, Texas. The boots we were using were the Korker Terror Ridge boots, I have an Amazon Affiliate link to them in the video description.
First off I'm 63 and ive seen a handful of joes takea dive on the rocks and a couple hit their heads? Not pretty. Do you know if anyone makes a knee high boots with felt soles?
I do not, the closest thing would be these Korkers. We've been using the felt alot on the regular slick algae and on the thick green algae we've been using the carbide spikes.
These particular boots are (Korkers Terror Ridge) $179.99, I have a link to them on Amazon in the description. Korkers also has boots with the same sole changing system for $109.99, $139.99 and $149.99. The material the boots are made out of affects the cost. The Carbide Spike Sole costs $69.99 separately. Korkers also makes an over shoe that goes over your existing shoes and has the same Carbide Spikes starting at $79.99 up to $99.99. In the videos coming out this Saturday and next Saturday you will see them in action on the green algae catching fish.
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing Good ive working out my reeling arm cause I cant wait til those Kings move in. Thats my goal this season, Ive watched how to catch king fish vid from your library Ive already bought the lures not sure if I should use 100# mono leader or wire attatched to the lures?
@@cagonzal13 if using an expensive lure I would recommend using 1 foot to 2 feet of wire. Then if you want to do it like is about a 10 foot section of 100lb mono attached to the wire via a swivel or quick connect clip.
I have heard that some people wear golf shoes or track spikes at the jetties but I have no personal experience with them. That being said the the Korkers use carbide tipped spikes where as the others don't. That carbide tip is what bites in to the granite/rock that you won't get with regular steel.
@@johnnycortez46 they feel great, almost as good as my Asics Kayano shoes. 💪 the Korkers only come in full sized and I wear an 11 1/2 and the size 12 Korkers fit and feel great.
The soles for these boots connect to the boot in a proprietary way. If you want an option that goes over your existing shoe/boot then you can check out the Korkers CastTrax Cleated Overshoe amzn.to/3ry6Ro5 here. I have them listed in the description as well.
Having used the felt soles and the carbide spikes the past 6 months I can see how the spikes are very useful. The downside I would see with the felt/stud combo is that they might not be big enough to dig into the thick green algae.
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing, thanks for responding! I'm in Oregon, and the jetty rocks only have the black slim, not the thick green algae. What would you pick in that case? Also, since it's warm where you are, what are you wearing with the boots -- regular socks, or neoprene socks?
@@xyzct you're welcome! if that's the case then I would opt for the felt or felt/stud combo. When jetty fishing we are wearing regular socks with the Korkers. When wet wading we use a neoprene sock.
@@xyzct you're welcome and thank you! I looked for a video of someone using them in the conditions I fish and couldn't find one. I figured I would buy them, try them and out and make a video so other people can know before dropping the money on them.
The first few weeks my hand and thumb swelled up and hurt a fair amount. No pain anymore but it is still a little tender and the skin is still growing back.
I ordered mine on Amazon, I got a link to them. They have some that are a little less expensive as well. So far they have been going strong for 5 months.
Yes for the most part. He was walking mainly on the portion that didn't have the algae. When he walked on the dark algae he had to walk very slow and he said he was slipping a lot.
No you do not. I'm a size 11 in regular shoes and they fit great. If you were going to wear these with stockingfoot waders then you should probably go up a size.

Hopefully this helps y'all get a better idea of what soles you should look into for the type of conditions you fish.
They also have felt/spike combo soles best of both worlds.
@@jlcsr9163 I might try those when my current felt soles wear out.

The whole time i watched, im thinking, "He going up, he going up"!🤣😂😂
Lol we have some footage of people with regular shoes falling down out there and we walk on the same stuff like nothing.
I personally went with Simms Wade Boots with Cleat Bites. Game changer.
We both own Simms Vaportread Salt boots with vibram soles but with the Korkers you are able to swap the soles out to something completely different.
Thanks
You're welcome, if you have any questions just let us know.
Thanks 4 knowledge on the Korkers , just got mine , can't wait 2 try them
Heck yeah, hopefully they serve you as well as they have served us.
Do yall wear socks or neoprene socks with yalls Korkers?
@@miguelvaldez6837 we usually just wear Under Armour crew socks because they wick moisture away pretty well. If you wear neoprene socks in the summer they will get hot and if you do get wet it will hold in the water inside the socks.
I literally just bought these Friday for when we go wading in the river next weekend trout fishing lol
They are comfortable and most importantly of all they work!
My man.... greatt rvw.... thanksssss
I'm glad you found the review helpful!
That algae will get ya
Spikes is probably my selection
Jack em up ⬆️

Thank you!
Hi what jetty were you walking on? Thinking about getting those shoes
@ronmarrone5722 we were walking on the Port Aransas South Jetty in Port Aransas, Texas. The boots we were using were the Korker Terror Ridge boots, I have an Amazon Affiliate link to them in the video description.
Thanks for the infos, but I'm still abit confused..down here my places has slip rocks..so probably which one to purchase?
For rocks that have a thin layer of algae the felt would work good if it has a thick layer of algae/moss then you will want the carbide spikes.
First off I'm 63 and ive seen a handful of joes takea dive on the rocks and a couple hit their heads? Not pretty. Do you know if anyone makes a knee high boots with felt soles?
I do not, the closest thing would be these Korkers. We've been using the felt alot on the regular slick algae and on the thick green algae we've been using the carbide spikes.
great review thank you for getting wet for us , maybe felt with studs is the best option?
Thank you very much! The felt/stud combo would probably do really well but definitely for the thick algae is where the carbide spikes excel.
Nice review brotha!!! How much did those puppies run you?

They look worth it. Im gonna look into buying some just in case. Im tired of chancing it and doing scooby doos.
Yeah the past few times we had been going out there the rocks had been wet and slippery so it was about time that I got them.
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing how's the Jetties did they repair them real good
@@cagonzal13 they poured concrete over the existing concrete and last I checked they were maybe halfway done.

I wonder if golf shoes would work if you wanted the spike design
I have heard that some people wear golf shoes or track spikes at the jetties but I have no personal experience with them. That being said the the Korkers use carbide tipped spikes where as the others don't. That carbide tip is what bites in to the granite/rock that you won't get with regular steel.
@Matt's Saltwater Fishing 🤔🤔🤔 Didn't think about that.. Good to know👍👍
@@johnnycortez46 if you have the golf shoes already, give them a try and see how they work for you. 💪
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing It was something I was thinking about. But those korkers look comfy though
@@johnnycortez46 they feel great, almost as good as my Asics Kayano shoes. 💪 the Korkers only come in full sized and I wear an 11 1/2 and the size 12 Korkers fit and feel great.
Can those be used on any show or boot?

@@MattsSaltwaterFishing nice thank you very much
@@keep1treal61 you're welcome. You can see us using the boots in our latest video, imo they were a great investment for the jetties.
Already ordered a pair. Got tired of slipping and falling on the rocks.
That's why got them! A lot cheaper than a trip to the ER.
Matt, I see that Korker has felt soles _with_ studs. Any thoughts?

How much the pain.??
The first few weeks my hand and thumb swelled up and hurt a fair amount. No pain anymore but it is still a little tender and the skin is still growing back.
Where do you buy these shoes for fishing?
I ordered mine on Amazon, I got a link to them. They have some that are a little less expensive as well. So far they have been going strong for 5 months.
So rueben is walking the same path but with rubber soles.
Yes for the most part. He was walking mainly on the portion that didn't have the algae. When he walked on the dark algae he had to walk very slow and he said he was slipping a lot.
Do you still have to buy them a size up if you don’t use them with waders?
No you do not. I'm a size 11 in regular shoes and they fit great. If you were going to wear these with stockingfoot waders then you should probably go up a size.
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing thank you for your response
