korkers or simms ?

Hi

I am thinking about upgrading my wading boots have a mate coming out from the states in March and he has agreed to bring me a pair. I was looking at the Simms freestone boots but I see that the Korkers have also had good reviews stateside and I am intrigued by thier interchangeable felt and rubber soles and was wondering if anybody on the forum has owned a pair or tried them out?

Just simms and only simms. Where do you fish mostly?

+1 for the Simms.

I'm very hard on my boots and have had inferior makes and models literally fall apart on me.
Not much fun when you're into your 3rd day of a 10 day back country walk.

I fish my Simms hard and they are not bad.
The sole has just started to peel after less than 3 months near the toe, but I'm keeping an eye on it and will more than likely fix it without too much drama. I've got the Guide Boots and am happy FWIW.
