I have owned a lot of different wading boots over the years.  After wearing the Kokers Metalhead I won’t be trying out different brands.  These are the real deal.  They fit better than any other boot I have owned, and there’s a reason why.  Kokers Metalhead boots come with their exclusive Boa speed lacing system.  When I tighten the dial the cables evenly snug up the boot to just the right fit.  It’s easy to change if I am wearing different waders or sock combinations.  The Boa system makes getting the boots on and off a breeze, too.  You just have to try this system to believe it.  The other advantage to Kokers is the OmniTrax Soles available with these boots.  There are five different types, including three studded soles, a plain felt sold and a “sticky” rubber sole.  All these different soles can be changed out for different condition in a matter of seconds.  They clip on the front of the boot and secured by pulling them over a fastener on the back.  I was amazed how easy it was and once in place they are secure—really.  They have a lot of other features, like mid-sole drainage ports and waterproof materials that keep the boots light.  There are many advantages to these boots that I haven’t mentioned and Korkers makes a wide range of boots for other applications.  Next time you are in your favorite fly fishing shop try out the Metalhead and the Boa system.  You’ll be amazed.  To learn more about Korkers products log onto their web site at www.korkers.com.
